In legislative terms, the month of March came in like a lion and went out (almost) like a lamb, as the pace of new bills introduced at the state level slowed considerably. Roughly 300 new labor and employment-related bills were introduced across the country in March, versus about 600 new bills in February. State lawmakers have begun actively considering those pending bills, however, as nearly 200 cleared at least one legislative house. Approximately 50 new state labor and employment laws were enacted during this time.
