2026 Capitol Connection Podcast - Ep 2

In this week’s Capitol Connection podcast episode, Will DuBos, LRA Managing Director of Government & Public Affairs, highlights three key areas: the state budget, labor legislation, and a proposed debit card surcharge ban. Lawmakers are reviewing the 2026–2027 budget, impacting workforce and tourism. Labor bills aim to streamline workers’ comp and simplify hiring minors, while a Senate bill would ban debit card surcharges. With the June 1 adjournment approaching, activity is ramping up.
