LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS FOR THE YEAR; PILE OF BILLS ON GOVERNOR’S DESK

The 2011 Legislative session has adjourned for the year, and a huge pile of bills sit on the Governor’s desk waiting to be signed or vetoed.

In the final two weeks of session, the Legislature feverishly worked through hundreds of bills. Many significant pieces of legislation, including bills to drastically change health insurance, regulate energy, provide bargaining benefits to public employee unions, and increase cumbersome land-use regulations, were voted on.
