Dear Neighbors, It feels like summer is speeding along, but there are still plenty of warm days ahead, including this week! I hope you have time to enjoy time outdoors with your family and friends. On August 1, a new slate of laws will take effect, including measures related to bicyclists, catalytic converters, firearms, and worker safety. Also, several items related to the legalization of adult-use cannabis take effect on August 1.  To read more from nonpartisan House Public Information and House Research about the new laws, click here and here.
