Expanding Domestic Violence Victim Protections – Those who have experienced the trauma of domestic violence need safe and stable options so they can remove themselves from a toxic environment. This new law will expand the resources available to victims, providing the necessary legal and financial assistance to those in crisis.
Fiscal Controls – The legislature extended fiscal controls that were first implemented on a bipartisan basis in 2017. Beginning on July 1, these controls will be in place for the next five years.

The guardrails help ensure stability within the state budget, hedging against future recessions and made the income tax cuts possible.
