Why Were 2010 Bills More Interesting?
December 10, 2010
Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.
Bills in 2010 may have been interesting for any number of reasons. Such as:
1) the subject matter generated a strong response from supporters and opposition; or
2) the bill clarified language to neutralize misconceptions being addressed in lawsuits and court opinions; or
3) new laws were enacted to solve new issues or problems – such as medical marijuana or expanding on social host liability for serving alcohol to minors, or other laws you see set out in our Compendium.
Not all enacted legislation is very exciting or controversial – many bills in 2010 merely sought to clean up language, bring up to date renumbered code or regulation citations, or accomplish other “housekeeping” tasks that would be considered merely technical and nonsubstantive.
