We worked on a series of bills this afternoon that covered a variety of topics. The first bill of the day was Senate File 76, it designates a portion of Trunk Highway 23 as OFFICER TOM DECKER MEMORIAL HIGHWAY. Officer Decker’s family was in the Chamber for the vote.
H.F. 748 modified prompt payment of wages requirements. This was the result of a court ruling that specified the legislation on the books should be more specific. It passed with overwhelming support.
Representative Linda Slocum sponsored a bill requiring that people conducting estate sales post a bond to protect owners of the property to be sold. This was the result of someone complaining about a salesperson that took off with the proceeds of a sale and the consumer had little recourse other than spending money on a major lawsuit, This bill passed 90-40.
Representative Deb Hilstrom presented a bill modifying power of attorney transactions. This was brought by the Vulnerable Adult Justice Project and has the support of many organizations. H.F. 232 passed 130-0.
This is the final session for this week.
