There are 17 state legislatures actively meeting this Memorial Day shortened week. The official start of the summer season also finds three more legislatures – Kansas, Missouri and South Carolina – adjourning sine die before the end of the week. Due to decreased state legislative activity, this summary of key state developments of interest to AACS members will be published the remainder of the year on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month. Interim updates will be posted, as necessary, on the AACS state relations listserve and/or emailed to members of the affected state. Weekly updates will resume in January as most state legislatures will reconvene then. Find out more in this week's update.
