Additional Bills Today - February 28, 2011
On House Orders
These bills we've mentioned previously remain on the House Orders:
HB 23 HFA1/HFA2 - Price Controls on Pawnbrokers
HB 141 - Granting Collective Bargaining Rights for Corrections Employees in Lexington and Louisville
HB 210 - Decals for New Drivers
HB 230 - Another Health Care Mandate
HB 394 - Fake Education Innovation
Here is one new one:
HB 386 - Stiffening Penalties for Plumbing Violations
The plumbing code can be arbitrary and burdensome. The code is there to be helpful, not to raise funds for the regulatory agency or to punish Kentucky Small Businesses. And the code does punish small businesses and kill jobs. One bakery that was ready to open in Louisville was shut down at the last moment before they opened because they had their own standing sink instead of a direct line to the main water supply. Kentucky doesn't need to enhance penalties, it needs to enhance solutions. LIKELY KEY VOTE
Senate Orders still contains only SB 45 - Banning Decongestants.
