Legislative regular session through Jun. 7, 2014

In a wonderfully wacky move, some of the text of HB 956, what had been a bad-rated bill trapped in a Senate committee, was read into previously unrated SB 359 by Sen. Jack Donahue. Most crucially, it incorporated a phrase which negated the negative effects of the bill (which actually had been added when in left the House). Thus, HB 956 is struck from the list of bad bills.

THIS WEEK FOR THE GOOD: HB 663 was sent to the governor; HB 874 was signed by the governor; HB 876 was signed by the governor; HB 1013 was concurred in and sent to the governor; HB 1076 was concurred in and sent to the governor; HB 1079 had the Senate reject it, the House accept the conference report, the Senate accept the conference report, and was sent to the governor; HB 1176 had the House accept the conference report, the Senate accept the conference report, and was sent to the governor; HB 1199 was signed by the governor; HB 1225 was signed by the governor; HB 1262 was sent to the governor; SB 62 was sent to the governor; SB 177 was signed by the governor; SB 312 was sent to the governor;  SB 394 was sent to the governor; SB 432 was sent to the governor;  SB 445 was signed by the governor;  SB 468 was sent to the governor;  SB 469 was signed by the governor; SB 682 was sent to the governor.
