Summary of the 2014 Legislative Session
To use a sports analogy, the Legislative Session went into overtime as the Legislature and Governor worked to hammer out deals on some outstanding issues, including a package of bills aimed at combating the heroin and opioid epidemic, medical marijuana and teacher evaluations. Legislation related to these three areas required messages of necessity from the Governor to waive the three day aging process that is otherwise required.
