New Laws We Don't Need

There's a new law being voted on in the Michigan Senate. According to the Mackinac Center, the new law will require bowling alleys to post a notice they wont be liable for slip and falls from people tracking in debris with their bowling shoes.

There are a few problems with this, first the belief we need a law to force alleys to post the concerns over liability, second, and mentioned in the article, is this is brought about by the smoking ban. The state used power of law to force private businesses to ban smoking, thus resulting in people walking outside, which in turn causes debris inside with an increase of slip and fall. So if I'm reading this law properly, we'll need bowling alley inspectors to check to see if this new law will be followed.
