Below is a brief discussion of the construction-related bills that have passed both the House and the Senate and have been acted on by the Governor. Although the Governor did not repeat his record-setting veto performance of 2001, he did manage to veto a number of bills, including some construction related legislation noted below.
Following the discussion of enacted legislation, there is a discussion of several construction-related proposals or issues that were left "unfinished" (i.e., bills that died or issues that were defeated but which will almost certainly re-emerge in the Sessions ahead). See "Unfinished Business" below.
