Good news, dear readers!

It appears that the delay in signing Senate Bill 863, rumored to be caused by Capitol’s frantic shortage of pens, is no more.  The Mercury News reports that Governor Brown signed the bill yesterday while in San Diego.

This move has been repeatedly cheered by business owners and union representatives alike.  Some groups have complained, however, saying that the reforms will hinder their platform of “keeping the working man from working.”

It goes without saying, dear readers, that we should all be brushing up on our SB-863 reading, and getting ready to handle new claims as they arise in 2013.

The tools are on the table, let’s roll up our sleeves and see what we can build.
