Topics of conversation today under the Gold Dome covered a variety of policies from vaccine availability and distribution, to the FY 2021 Amended Budget, and casinos and horse racing. Georgia schools are pressing for vaccines for the teachers and staff while the Department of Public Health has ratcheted down vaccine distribution to at least one county for their taking educators “out of order.” Late yesterday, Senator Brandon Beach (R-Alpharetta) placed in the hopper his legislation establishing the Horse Race Commission, SB 30.
Meanwhile, the House tackled its first major bill with the passage of a Committee Substitute on HB 80 with a vote of 149-20, our state’s spending plan for the remainder of this fiscal year.

Measure would require landlords to tell tenants of need for a policy
January 27, 2021
Should a residential lease have to include a clause that the landlord doesn’t offer renter’s insurance, and what would be the ramifications if it doesn’t?
Those were two of the questions the New Hampshire House Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee faced at a virtual hearing on House Bill 473.
The bill would require landlords to add one sentence to rental agreements of over a month’s duration indicating that the landlord’s insurance does not cover the tenant’s belongings from loss or damage and that the landlord recommends that the tenant purchase renter’s insurance, the cost of which would be borne by the tenant. The bill doesn’t mention any penalties for those that failure to do so.

Essential goods prices up
PUTRAJAYA – Price increases for essential goods in Johor, Perak, Kelantan, and Pahang have occurred following the monsoon season that hit the East Coast states resulting in fishermen not being able to go out to sea.
Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said other factors include extreme weather changes in major vegetable supply areas such as Cameron Highlands that have caused a decline in the quality and quantity of produce.
