Legislature At Break Neck Speed
Legislators have introduced 262 new pieces of legislation in the first week of session. The first week deadline for individual bills certainly had an impact on the number of bills generated early.  In addition, the legislature seems to be committed to moving this session along and meeting the shortened session deadlines. The first funnel, when bills have to be out of committee in their house of origin, is February 12. The second funnel, when bills have to be out of committee in the second house, is March 5, and the projected end date of session is March 31. Because of the compression of timelines, it is more important than ever that county officials keep an eye on what is happening under the golden dome and act on alerts that come from ISAC.
