2023 Legislative Session Comes a Close
At 1:40 am June 16th, the legislative session wrapped up. The last day of session is always difficult as one branch must wait while the other acts on bills and sends them back to ensure that the language is identical to companion bills. It’s a messy process, but one that is unavoidable and difficult to explain to those that do not spend their days at the State House. Bills passed by both the House and Senate are transmitted to the Governor for his consideration. Once that process is complete, we will send a full list of new laws in a final wrap-up edition of Advocacy in Action

This Week’s Cybersecurity Tip of the Week, provided by PacketLogix
IT Security Tip: Be VERY careful of what you put in any e-mail
Never forget that e-mail constitutes a legal record and can be admissible in legal actions, not only in the courtroom, but in the court of public opinion. People sue peoples for all kinds of silly reasons. Family members get into disputes, couples get divorced, consumers sue merchants and vendors can pursue delinquent clients.
Whenever a lawyer is looking for damaging evidence, one of the first things they’ll ask for are e-mail records – and deleting them does NOT save you. Just look at what happened to Hillary!
