Session Wrap-up

For a complete look at new laws from the 2001 legislative session, including those affecting business, the House Public Information Office has published a complete summary. Click here for New Laws 2001.

Business proposals become law: A bill doesn't have to be included in an omnibus funding measure to become law. Several provisions are new laws on their own, including buyback changes for farm implement dealers and food labeling.

Bills in Limbo: A number of business-related provisions did not become law during the 2001 legislative session, including plans to help fund a new stadium.
