Sixty days, 500 bills
Friday, January 20, 2006
Highlights from this past week include the beginning of committee hearings, the conclusion of bill introduction, and the referencing of all legislative bills. Upon Wednesday's adjournment, the total number of bills introduced for the session was an even five hundred. Compared to 763 bills in the last 90-day session, members of the Legislature certainly have their work cut out with only 60 days in the session and carry-over bills lurking on the agenda.
