Come July 1, a lot of new laws will go into effect, proof that the men and women we send to Richmond each year really do accomplish something.
There are some changes to the Freedom of Information Act, but luckily, as compared to some years, the changes are few and do not represent any major policy shifts.
For instance, there are only two new exemptions. There were years when there would be seven to 10 exemptions, so two is pretty good in my book.
