1) Re: 2011 House Bill 4326 (Ban state regulations more stringent than federal standards ) by Freerider on March 20, 2012This bill was passed nearly 4 months ago. No mention if Governor Snyder signed or vetoed the bill. I understand that if he does neither within 14 days of passage that the bill automatically becomes law. Is that the case here?
