Legislative regular session through May 3, 2014



Due to amending over the past couple of weeks, this relaxed the rigidity of HB 490 as far as legislative discretion, and therefore the bill is elevated from its bad status. And SB 520 gets promoted into the list of the good as a result of its (slightly) strengthening TOPS standards.
