Bills in Frankfort Today - March 24, 2010
House
A New Costly Set of Regulations
The House Committee on Agriculture will consider HB 304 which places new regulations on stockyards, and will cost the state an additional $70,000/year to enforce.
Senate
Another New Spending Program
The Senate Committee on Health and Welfare will consider HB 72 which creates a $600,000 colon cancer screening program.
Revamping Another Board that Costs Money
The State is full of boards and commissions that bleed the General Fund, but, fortunately, many of them do not actually meet. The Senate Committee on State and Local Government will consider HB 170, which will resurrect Commission on Fire Protection Personnel Standards and Education and spend more money to be sure it is adequately staffed.
More Tedious Regulations to Suffocate Small Businesses
Possible KEY VOTE: The Senate Committee on State and Local Government will also consider HB 185, a bill requiring businesses to post various statutes on the wall somewhere and creating new penalties for non-compliance.
