WPI State of the States: The Legislative Action Is On Opposite Coasts

As Independence Day approaches, only three states are in active session: California, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. Roughly a dozen other states are in recess for several months, while the rest have officially adjourned for the year. Those states that are still considering bills for 2018 have advanced several labor and employment-related measures governing sexual harassment, discrimination, privacy and medical marijuana, among other areas. This month’s State of the States highlights those bills that have made their way to a governor’s desk, could be headed in that direction, or represent continued legislative trends.
