HCS SCS SB 887 -- POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS

SPONSOR:  Schaefer (Franz)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass" by the Committee on Public
Safety by a vote of 11 to 0 with 1 present.

This substitute changes the laws regarding political
subdivisions, controlled substances, law enforcement agencies,
taxes, tax credits, waste management, motor vehicles, and crimes.
In its main provisions, the substitute:

(1)  Establishes the Joint Committee on Missouri's Eco Friendly
Solid Waste composed of five members of the Senate appointed by
the President Pro Tem and five members of the House of
Representatives, appointed by the Speaker, with no more than
three members from either chamber being of the same political
party.  The committee must examine Missouri's present and future
solid waste management needs to determine the best strategy to
ensure an affordable and environmentally conscious long-term
strategy for waste management that will meet the needs of the
people and businesses of Missouri for the next 25 years.  The
committee may hold hearings and obtain input or information
necessary to fulfill its obligations and may make reasonable
requests of the House of Representatives and Senate research and
appropriations staff, as well as the Committee on Legislative
Research, the departments of Economic Development and Natural
Resources, and the Missouri Public Service Commission.  Committee
members will receive no compensation but may be reimbursed for
expenses associated with the performance of their official
duties.  The committee must submit a final report with its
recommendations for any legislative action deemed necessary to
the General Assembly by December 31, 2010, at which time the
committee will be dissolved.  Until the committee issues its
report, the Department of Natural Resources is prohibited from
issuing a permit for any new nonsource separated material
recovery facility (Section 21.870, RSMo);

(2)  Transfers, effective January 1, 2011, all powers, duties,
and functions of the State Water Patrol within the Department of
Public Safety to the newly established Division of Water Patrol
within the State Highway Patrol and repeals provisions related to
the water patrol regarding employment of members; the
commissioner; appointment of officers; salaries; rules and
instruction of members; and the removal, reduction in rank, or
suspension of members based on charges and complaints.  The
substitute (Sections 36.031 - 43.392, 58.445, 301.716, 306.010,
306.161 - 306.168, 306.185, 306.227 - 306.232, 542.261, 544.157,
577.090, and 650.005):

(a)  Increases from five to six the number of majors the
Superintendent of the State Water Patrol must appoint from its
membership (Section 43.040);

(b)  Increases from 25 to 34 the number of captains, from 60 to
68 the number of lieutenants, and from not to exceed 965 to not
to exceed 1,064 the total number of patrol officers, patrolmen,
and radio personnel that the superintendent may appoint (Section
43.050);

(c)  Requires the Superintendent of the State Highway Patrol to
appoint a director of the division and allows him or her to
assign highway patrol members to serve in the division on a
permanent or temporary basis.  All salaries and expenses relating
to the assignment of highway patrol members to the division must
be paid within the limits of appropriations from general revenue,
the Missouri State Water Patrol Fund, or from other funding
authorized by the General Assembly (Section 43.392);

(d)  Specifies that an employee of the water patrol who is
earning creditable service in the Closed Plan of the Missouri
State Employees' Retirement System (MOSERS) and who is
transferred to the highway patrol must elect in writing within 90
days of January 1, 2011, to either remain in MOSERS or transfer
membership and creditable service to the Closed Plan of the
Missouri Department of Transportation and Highway Patrol
Employees' Retirement System (MPERS) after receiving a detailed
analysis comparing benefits.  An election made is irrevocable and
constitutes a waiver to receive benefits other than those
provided by the system elected by the employee.  An employee
making an election agrees to hold both systems harmless with
regard to benefit differences resulting from the election.  Any
employee of the water patrol who is earning credited service in
the Year 2000 Plan of MOSERS and who is transferred to the
highway patrol must elect in writing within 90 days of January 1,
2011, to either remain in MOSERS or transfer membership and
creditable service to the Year 2000 Plan of MPERS after receiving
a detailed analysis comparing benefits.  An election made is
irrevocable and constitutes a waiver to receive benefits other
than those provided by the system elected by the employee.  An
employee making an election agrees to hold both systems harmless
with regard to benefit differences resulting from the election.
In no event can an employee receive service credit for the same
period of service under more than one retirement system.  An
employee who elects to transfer to the MPERS and who thereafter
is a uniformed member of the highway patrol will be subject to
the mandatory retirement age in Section 108.081 (Section
104.810); and

(e)  Specifies that members of the water patrol division can
request and serve search warrants to investigate an accident or
crime originally committed within their jurisdiction if the
sheriff or his designee of the county in which the warrant is to
be served participates in the serving of the search warrant,
except for offenses pertaining to boating while intoxicated and
the investigation of vessel accidents (Section 306.168);

(3)  Increases the assessed valuation threshold that a county
must maintain in order to move into a higher classification.  The
minimum assessed valuation threshold for counties of the first
classification is increased from $600 million to $900 million and
from $450 million to $600 million for counties of the second
classification.  All counties with an assessed valuation of less
than $600 million will be third classification counties.  The
governing body of any county of the second classification which,
on August 28, 2010, has had an assessed valuation of at least
$600 million for at least one year may, by resolution of the
county governing body, elect to become a county of the first
classification after it has maintained that valuation for the
period of time required under Section 48.030.  Currently, only
the counties of Lincoln and St. Francois qualify.  Any county of
the second classification which, on August 28, 2010, has had an
assessed valuation of at least $600 million for at least five
years may, by resolution of the county governing body duly
adopted before December 31, 2010, elect to remain a county of the
second classification until the assessed valuation of the county
after 2009 results in placing it in another classification and it
has maintained the necessary valuation for the period of time
required under Section 48.030.  Currently, only the counties of
Christian and Newton qualify.  The required assessed valuation
thresholds for changes in county classification will be increased
each year by an amount equal to the percentage change in the
annual average of the federal Consumer Price Index or zero,
whichever is greater.  The State Tax Commission must calculate
and publish the amount so that it is available to all the
counties (Section 48.020);

(4)  Increases the threshold, from $4,500 or less to from $6,000
or less, when a county is not required to obtain a bid on a
purchase (Section 50.660);

(5)  Authorizes compensation of $15,000 annually to the county
counselor in Boone County for duties relating to mental health
and mental health facilities and up to $15,000 annually for
investigative and clerical personnel costs for assisting the
county counselor in carrying out these duties.  The additional
compensation is to be paid out of the state treasury from funds
appropriated for these purposes in the form of a reimbursement to
the county general revenue fund (Section 56.700);

(6)  Specifies that Jefferson County cannot adopt any charter
provision or any order or ordinance that prevents the county from
contracting out the county's probation services with a private
entity (Section 66.720);

(7)  Allows any county to establish ordinances regarding curfew
hours for persons younger than 17 years of age.  Any minor who
violates a curfew ordinance will be guilty of a class C
misdemeanor.  If the minor's parent or guardian has knowledge of
the violation, he or she will also be guilty of a class C
misdemeanor (Section 67.309);

(8)  Establishes the Political Subdivision Construction Bidding
Standards Act which regulates the advertising and lowest bidding
practices of political subdivisions that are not currently
governed by state or federal requirements or a local construction
procurement policy when soliciting bids and awarding construction
contracts of $10,000 or more.  Criteria for the construction
projects covered by the substitute are specified.  Certain
contracts for construction or construction management services
are exempt as well as design build projects authorized by local
regulations.  Mandatory regulations for political subdivisions
include a good faith standard for the award of construction
contracts; requirements for making, opening, and accepting bids;
compliance with state statutes or a local construction
procurement policy; and a bonding requirement in Section 107.170,
RSMo.  Electronic bidding that is comparable to the requirements
for written bids will be allowed.  If a contractor is injured by
a violation of the act, he or she may be awarded monetary damages
or equitable relief.  Attorney fees may be awarded to the
plaintiff if the court finds a violation or there is a
determination of fraud, collusion, or corruption.  A defendant
may receive attorney fees if the court finds that there is no
substantial cause for the action or that the action was initiated
for purposes of harassment or disruption of the awarded contract.
Any action brought by a contractor more than 15 business days
after the awarding of a contract must be dismissed by the court
(Section 67.314);

(9)  Authorizes the City of Jefferson City to impose, upon voter
approval, a transient guest tax of up to 7%, instead of the
current up to 5%, per occupied room per night for promoting the
city as a convention, visitor, and tourist center (Section
67.1000);

(10)  Authorizes counties which have imposed certain county
taxes, upon voter approval, for a specific period of time that
must be extended by another voter approval to use ballot language
which indicates that the tax is an extension of an existing tax
and not a new tax (Section 67.1080);

(11)  Authorizes Montgomery County and the cities of Ashland and
Sugar Creek to impose, upon voter approval, a transient guest tax
of between 2% and 5% per occupied room per night for the
promotion of tourism (Section 67.1360);

(12)  Allows real property owners in the counties of Caldwell,
Clinton, Daviess, and DeKalb to petition the governing body of
the county for the creation of an exhibition center and
recreational facility district (Section 67.2000);

(13)  Allows the governing body of a municipality to annex a
parcel of land within a research, development, or office park
project located in an unincorporated area of the county if the
parcel is compact and contiguous to the existing boundaries of
the municipality and the municipality obtains the written consent
of all the property owners within the unincorporated area of the
parcel (Section 71.275);

(14)  Authorizes the collector of revenue in the City of St.
Louis to collect charges for trash collection in the same manner
that property taxes are collected and specifies that delinquent
or unpaid charges will be deemed a personal debt of the person
owing the charges and a lien on the person's real property until
paid (Section 92.013);

(15)  Increases the monthly interest rate charged from 1% to 2%,
increases the maximum annual interest rate from 10% to 18%, and
repeals the prime rate limitation on the interest rate for
delinquent property taxes in the City of St. Louis (Sections
92.715, 140.100, and 141.830);

(16)  Authorizes the City of Grandview to impose, upon voter
approval, a transient guest tax of up to 5% per occupied room per
night for the promotion of tourism (Section 94.271);

(17)  Specifies that the combined rate of sales taxes adopted
under the city sales tax law cannot exceed 2%.  This change is
not to be construed as a new tax or an increase in the current
levy of an existing tax for the purpose of Article X, Section 22,
of the Missouri Constitution, commonly known as the Hancock
Amendment, which requires voter approval.  Cities that have
already imposed and collected taxes under the city sales tax law
can continue to do so without voter approval as a continuation of
a tax previously approved by the voters of the city.  Currently,
under the general city sales tax law, cities may impose a city
sales tax, upon voter approval, at a rate of one-half of 1%,
seven-eighths of 1%, or 1%; and the City of St. Louis may impose
the tax at a rate not to exceed one and three-eighths percent for
the benefit of the city (Sections 94.510 and 94.550);


(18)  Specifies that the combined rate of sales taxes adopted
under the capital improvement city sales tax law cannot exceed
1%.  This change is not to be construed as a new tax or an
increase in the current levy of an existing tax for the purpose
of the Hancock Amendment which requires voter approval.  Cities
that have already imposed and collected taxes under the city
sales tax law can continue to do so without voter approval as a
continuation of a tax previously approved by the voters of the
city.  Currently, under the capital improvements city sales tax
law, cities not in St. Louis County may impose a sales tax, upon
voter approval, at a rate of one-eighth, one-fourth,
three-eighths, or one-half of 1% for the purpose of funding,
operating, and maintaining capital improvements.  Municipalities
in charter counties are authorized to impose a capital
improvements tax under Section 94.890 (Section 94.577);

(19)  Authorizes the City of North Kansas City to impose, upon
voter approval, a transient guest tax of one-half of 1% per
occupied room per night for the promotion of tourism and
infrastructure improvements (Section 94.832);

(20)  Defines "certified industrial zone" as an area of real
property that encompasses at least 100 acres which has been
approved by the department as a certified site; has been found by
ordinance of the governing body to be blighted; and is located in
a census tract which has a poverty rate at least 20% or for which
the median income is less than 80% of the statewide median income
or is less than 80% of the metropolitan median income for the
metropolitan statistical area in which the zone is located,
whichever is greater and specifies that "enhanced business
enterprise" includes a business enterprise located within a
certified industrial zone that engages in data processing,
hosting, and related services and Internet publishing,
broadcasting, and web search portals as it relates to the tax
credit (Section 135.950);

(21)  Authorizes an annual tax credit for up to 10 years if
approved by the Department of Economic Development to a taxpayer
who establishes a new business facility in a certified industrial
zone approved or designated as an enhanced enterprise zone.  A
taxpayer who receives this tax credit cannot also receive tax
credits from enterprise zones, relocating a business to a
distressed community, or Missouri Quality Jobs programs.  To
receive the tax credit, a taxpayer must employ at least two new
individuals at the new business facility, have a total aggregate
new business facility investment of at least $10 million, or
invest at least $1 million during the taxable year in which the
credit is claimed.  The tax credit will be equal to 10% of the
gross wages of each new employee at the facility and 5% of the
investment made in the new business facility within an enhanced
enterprise zone.  The maximum annual amount of tax credits is $24
million (Section 135.969);

(22)  Allows a taxpayer to receive the tax credit for an existing
facility which expands if he or she invests at least $100,000 and
hires at least two additional employees during the tax year in
which the credits are claimed.  The substitute explains the
manner in which the taxpayer's investment in the original
facility prior to expansion must be determined (Section 135.969);

(23)  Requires $10 million of the $24 million annually authorized
for enhanced business enterprises to be issued for enterprises
located in certified industrial zones.  The credits must be
claimed for the taxable year in which commencement of commercial
operations occurs at the new business facility and for each of
the following nine years in which the credit is issued.  The
credits are refundable and transferable but cannot be carried
forward (Section 135.969);

(24)  Requires the department, prior to the issuance of any tax
credits, to verify that the applicant does not owe any delinquent
taxes, penalties, fees, assessments, or insurance taxes.
Taxpayers who are delinquent between June 15 and July 1 will be
given 30 days to satisfy the delinquency.  Available credits will
be applied to delinquencies and any remaining credits will be
issued to the applicant (Section 135.969);

(25)  Specifies that tools, telecommunications equipment, power
production and transmission machinery and equipment, data
processing machinery and equipment, and other machinery and
equipment that can be used by any company which is located within
certain enhanced enterprise zones will be assessed and valued for
purposes of taxation at one-half of 1%.  Commercial vehicles
licensed with a gross weight of 10,100 pounds or more that are
powered only by battery-generated electrical energy if produced
before January 1, 2014, will be assessed and valued for purposes
of taxation at 17%.  The substitute also exempts these tools,
equipment, machinery, and commercial vehicles from all state and
local sales and use taxes (Sections 137.115, 144.054, and
144.055);

(26)  Clarifies that certain purchases made for resale are not to
be considered as retail for sales and use tax purposes when the
subsequent sale is taxed in the state or another state, is for
resale, is excluded from tax, is subject to tax but is exempt, or
is exempt in another state where the subsequent sale occurs;
clarifies that operators of amusement parks and places of
entertainment or recreation, including games or athletic events,
must charge sales taxes on the amount of gross receipts charged
for admission, but any subsequent sale of the admissions or
seating accommodations will not be subject to the taxes if it was
an arms length transaction for fair market value with an
unaffiliated entity; and clarifies that operators of hotels,
motels, taverns, restaurants, drugstores, dining cars, tourist
camps, or similar businesses must charge sales taxes on the
amount of gross receipts charged for all rooms, meals, and drinks
furnished at the establishment, but any subsequent sale of those
same rooms, meals, and drinks is exempt from sales and use taxes
if it was an arms length transaction for fair market value with
an unaffiliated entity (Section 144.019);

(27)  Authorizes a state and local sales and use tax
exemption for any sale of utilities at cost by a sports complex
authority which is ultimately consumed in the operation of a
sports complex leased to a professional sports team and for all
gratuities, whether mandatory or voluntary, provided with the
receipt of property or services regardless of whether the
property or services may be subject to tax (Section 144.030);

(28)  Allows any ambulance district established under Chapter 190
on or after August 28, 2010, to impose, upon voter approval, a
sales tax in lieu of a property tax to fund the district.  A
petition to establish an ambulance district must state whether it
will be funded by a property or a sales tax.  Currently, a
district can only levy a property tax (Sections 190.015, 190.035,
and 190.040);

(29)  Expands the definition of "marijuana" to include all forms
of cannabis, including synthetic compounds or structures that are
molecularly similar, cannabimimetric indoles, and all such
cannabinoid-like substances that are not approved drugs by the
federal Food and Drug Administration (Section 195.010);

(30)  Adds spice cannabinoids, commonly known as "spice" or "K2",
and other similar synthetic cannabinoids that are similar in
structure and are not approved for human consumption by the
United States Food and Drug Administration to the list of
Schedule I controlled substances.  Boldione,
desoxymethyltestosterone, and 19-nor-4,9(10)-androstadienedione
are added to the list of Schedule III controlled substances.
Fospropofol is added to the list of Schedule IV controlled
substances and lacosamide and pregabalin are added to the list of
Schedule V controlled substances (Section 195.017);

(31)  Allows a licensed physician assistant or advance practice
registered nurse or comparable mid-level practitioner located in
another state to prescribe controlled substances if he or she has
fulfilled the requirements of the state in which he or she is
licensed and practicing as well as those of the United States, he
or she writes the prescription in compliance with the applicable
laws of the state in which he or she is licensed and practicing
as well as those of the United States, and the prescription is
dispensed to a patient who is a resident of another state.
Supply limitations for the quantity of Schedule II, III, IV, or V
controlled substances that may be prescribed or dispensed do not
apply if the prescription was written by a practitioner located
in another state, dispensed to a patient who is a resident of
another state, or the prescription is dispensed directly to a
member of the armed forces serving outside the United States
(Sections 195.070, 195.080, and 334.747);

(32)  Increases, from eight to 10, the number of members on the
sewer district boards of trustees in the counties of Cass and
Jackson.  Each board will consist of the county executive, mayors
of the five largest-user cities, mayors of three other cities who
are members of the sewer district advisory board, and one member
of the county legislature.  In the event the district extends its
boundaries into a bordering county, the presiding commissioner or
county executive of the bordering county will become the eleventh
member of the board (Section 204.300);

(33)  Requires the chief law enforcement official responsible for
a municipal detention facility or a county or regional jail or
the chief administrator of a private jail to notify the Missouri
Uniform Law Enforcement System (MULES) as soon as reasonably
possible but no later than five hours after an escape of a
prisoner who has been convicted of a dangerous felony or who is
being held on suspicion of having committed a dangerous felony.
The notification must include the name, description, and
photograph of the prisoner as well as other relevant facts
(Section 221.505);

(34)  Specifies that the provisions of Section 262.802, relating
to the abeyance of water and sewer assessments, will not apply to
any drainage or levee district (Section 246.310);

(35)  Requires the Department of Natural Resources to establish
minimum design, siting, operation, inspection, monitoring,
financial assurance, and closure requirements by regulation for
all material recovery facilities.  The department may establish
different requirements depending on the nature and content of the
solid waste streams processed by the facility, the degree of
automation to be used in the processing and recovery activities,
the amount and type of nonrecyclable wastes remaining after
resource recovery, and other factors as determined by the
department.  Until the material recovery facility regulations
have become final and effective, the department is prohibited
from issuing any permit to construct or operate a material
recovery facility unless the facility processes only solid waste
collected as part of a source-separated or single-stream
residential, commercial, or industrial recycling program (Section
260.205);

(36)  Requires any city or political subdivision that owns or
operates a solid waste processing facility where the collection
or processing of solid waste is currently being provided by a
private entity to notify the entity by certified mail of its
intent to own or operate a processing facility in the area.  No
city or political subdivision may begin ownership or operation of
a solid waste reprocessing facility where solid waste processing
is currently handled by a private entity until at least five
years from notifying the private entity of its intent to begin
operation.  If the city or political subdivision does not begin
processing solid waste within six years of the notification, it
must renotify the private entity and pay the private entity an
amount at least equal to the sum the entity would have received
for providing the services if the services were provided under a
contract (Section 260.247);

(37)  Requires a nonresident motorist operating or who allows
another person to operate a vehicle within the state to maintain
financial responsibility that meets the requirements of his or
her state.  Anyone who fails to maintain financial responsibility
will be guilty of a class C misdemeanor (Section 303.025);

(38)  Specifies that a person will be guilty of the crime of
endangerment of emergency personnel or emergency responder if,
while in an active emergency zone as defined in the substitute,
the person commits certain specified acts.  Any person who
commits this crime will be subject to a fine of up to $1,000 and
have four points assessed against his or her driver's license in
addition to any other penalty authorized by law.  If the offense
results in the injury or death of an emergency responder or
emergency personnel, the person will be guilty of aggravated
endangerment of an emergency responder and subject to a fine of
up to $5,000 for an injury and up to $10,000 for a death with 12
points assessed against the person's driver's license.  The
substitute also increases the amount of the fine assessed for
certain traffic violations if the violation occurred in an active
emergency zone (Sections 304.890, 304.892, and 304.894);

(39)  Specifies that after February 28, 2011, all vehicles
operated by a contract carrier that transport passengers for
compensation must be equipped with one or more operable
oscillating amber or white strobe lights mounted on the roof in
the rear one-third portion or integrated into the rear bumper of
the vehicle to warn other motorists when the vehicle has stopped
on or directly adjacent to a roadway for the loading or unloading
of passengers or equipment (Section 307.129);

(40)  Requires all records maintained by a licensed pharmacy in
an electronic record keeping system to contain all information
otherwise required in a manual record keeping system and be
readily retrievable.  Pharmacies may electronically maintain the
original prescription for each drug and any change or alteration
to a prescription record if the original written or faxed
prescription is physically maintained on file at the pharmacy
(Section 338.100);

(41)  Specifies that the required continuing instruction for
public administrators in certain counties of the first
classification does not have to be classroom instruction in order
for them to receive compensation (Section 473.739);

(42)  Specifies that a public administrator from a second, third,
or fourth classification county or St. Louis City who chooses to
receive an annual salary will receive $2,000 of his or her salary
only if he or she has completed at least 20 hours of instruction
each year that has been approved by a professional association of
the county public administrators of Missouri unless the public
administrator is exempted from the training by the association.
The association approving the program must provide a certificate
of completion for the training program and send a list of
certified public administrators to the treasurer of each county.
The public administrator will be reimbursed for expenses incurred
for attending the training in the same manner as other expenses
(Section 473.742);

(43)  Specifies that when three or more political subdivisions of
the state form a business entity for the purpose of providing
liability and other insurance, including public and quasi-public
governmental bodies, the risk coverages procured by a member of
the entity will not be deemed to constitute a contract, purchase,
or expenditure of public funds for which competitive bids must be
solicited (Section 537.620);

(44)  Requires the prosecuting or circuit attorney to file a
motion for the court-ordered sexually transmitted disease testing
of a defendant charged with certain sexual offenses upon the
request of the victim with notice given to the defense attorney.
A motion can also be filed upon the prosecuting or circuit
attorney's own initiative and for good cause shown with the
proper notice given.  The testing must occur within 48 hours of
when the defendant was charged.  The results of the testing and
any follow-up testing must be released to the victim, the
victim's parent or guardian if he or she is a minor, the
prosecuting or circuit attorney, and the defendant's attorney as
soon as practicable.  All costs of the testing are to be paid by
the Department of Public Safety (Section 566.135);

(45)  Specifies that a person commits the crime of unlawful use
of weapons if he or she knowingly handles or uses a firearm or
projectile weapon in a negligent or unlawful manner while
intoxicated (Section 571.030);

(46)  Establishes Susie's Law which prohibits any child younger
than 18 years of age from riding as a passenger on any machinery
or heavy equipment not manufactured for passengers, excluding
farm machinery as defined in Section 32.085.  Any operator who
violates this provision will be subject to a fine of $100 for the
first violation and $500 for any subsequent violation (Section
578.275); and

(47)  Adds one active member of the Missouri Deputy Sheriff's
Association to the Missouri Sheriff Methamphetamine Relief
Taskforce (MoSMART).  The taskforce member will serve a two-year
term and be appointed by the Governor from a list of five names
submitted by the association (Section 650.350).

The substitute contains an emergency clause for the provisions
regarding assessed valuation thresholds for county
classifications, sales taxes charged on certain purchases made
for resale, and the additions to the schedules of controlled
substances.

FISCAL NOTE:  Estimated Cost on General Revenue Fund of Unknown
in FY 2011, FY 2012, and FY 2013.  Estimated Cost on Other State
Funds of Unknown in FY 2011, FY 2012, and FY 2013.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that prohibiting the sale of K2 is an
important safety measure that needs to be addressed quickly.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Franz for Senator
Schaefer; Department of Health and Senior Services; Missouri
Police Chiefs' Association; Missouri State Troopers Association;
and Department of Public Safety.

OPPONENTS:  Those who oppose the bill say that by designating K2
as a Schedule I drug, harsh punishments will be given for a
substance that is not harmful.  Sales of K2 have led to many
businesses being able to hire more employees.

Testifying against the bill were Micah Riggs; Joy Dishneau; Kevin
Bay; Dustin Decker; and John Hawkins.
