Heads Up: New Legislation Effective August 1

In addition to being National Raspberry Cream Pie Day and the birthdays of Dom DeLuise and Francis Scott Key, August 1 is the effective date of several new Minnesota laws.

The Minnesota House of Representatives Public Information Service has information on  2010 legislation and specifically on laws with August 1 effective dates. The 2010 Session Laws are now online. See index and Table 1 (Session Laws Amended, Repealed, Etc.) and Table 2 (Statutes New, Amended or Repealed).

We’ve blogged previously about the changes to landlord tenant law, and we’ve been busy revising some of practicelaw’s Guardianship and Conservatorship forms to insure their compliance with legislation effective August 1. The outline of those changes will be posted on Monday.

Also, the most recent edition of MSBA’s Bench and Bar, has an article detailing the 2010 legislative action.  For another take on those pieces of legislation effective Sunday, see the Pine City Community Blog.

So read up to stay up-to-date. And don’t forget to enjoy a piece of raspberry cream pie.
