Capitol update
The Legislature has wrapped up our first month of session, and the House ended this busy week with a deadline to have all bills out of committee. A bill must pass a House committee before it can be heard on the House floor. Of the nearly 2,000 bills filed this year, just over 500 passed committee, which means we have our work cut out for us to hear these bills on the House floor over the next few weeks.
