On June 30, Gov. Charlie Crist finished acting on 262 bills brought to him by the 2009 Legislature.

Nine of those proposed laws were vetoed, including five of particular interest to business.

Many laws were influenced by the Senate Select Committee on Florida's Economy, tasked with shaping legislation to pull the state out of the economic doldrums sooner rather than later. One such bill is House Bill 485, known as the
“Fast Track Economic Stimulus for Small Business.”
