We started with over 5000 bills in the hopper and now only 1151 bills remain. The Senate is done hearing bills in committee. The next three weeks will be nothing but floor work on those House bills that made it from committee.
The House is finished with sub-committee work and has one week left of full committee work. Every bill in the House is still alive until the final committees wrap up in the next week so your League's Government Affairs department are monitoring carefully.
