Morning soon became afternoon during the early session of the House today. During this time, six bills completed legislative action. Of those bills completing legislation, House Bill 2771 requires contractors to submit documentation that they have complied with state regulations prior to the final payment for their work. This bill would define that a contract under this section would have a price floor set at $50,000. The bill would also not require employees who must submit to federal Department of Transportation drug testing to submit to further drug testing. The bill requires a contractor to submit yearly documentation to the awarding agency on its drug-free workplace policy.
If you’re in the market for a new vehicle but worried that your new vehicle may have already suffered some wear and tear, then House Bill 2557 may peak your interest. This bill, an extension of the “lemon law,” requires car dealerships to provide consumers with a written disclosure of any repairs to a new car that were performed after the shipment from the manufacturer to the dealer, including to the repair of any damage caused during transit.
House Bill 2360 protects the safety of tobaccoo users, by insuring that tobacco products are not sold in any packaging other than the original factory wrapped package and that cigarettes are not sold individually.
The House is in recess until 4:00 p.m. today
