This past week was a good and bad week for job creation and economic development in the Legislature.
We were able to get the restaurant alcohol delivery bill and an economic development bill moving forward.
Bills to increase employee costs, regulation, and increase lawsuits moved along swiftly this week.
The pending sick leave bill had an amendment to ensure the state does not have to follow this new regulation.
The workers compensation bill is going to increase work comp costs and send several businesses into the work comp pool. Workers Compensation for businesses will increase 20% to 100% depending on your industry and the number of employees you have in the business.
