In 2017, 785 bills were drafted, 540 were introduced for consideration, and 337 were passed. Eight bills were vetoed by the Governor. A special “Thank You” is owed to all of the members of the IR Legislative Committee who worked diligently throughout the session to review legislation and take positions on behalf of the Association.
