FRSA Legislative Report- General

By Anonymous -

General Information – The regular legislative session will end in a little less than two weeks. Both the House and Senate will be in session almost all day every day between now and Friday, May 3, 2013. This is the most intense time of session.
One of the major topics for any session is the budget, and, if controversial, it can often throw everything else off track. This year is not one of those years. The budget conference process is proceeding well and most all issues have been resolved.
To date, of the 1,833 bills filed, 38 have passed. This is not unusual. Predictions (or intention) coming from the Senate president are that no more than about 300 bills pass this session. This would be a relatively low number (but a total of 1,833 bills filed is also a relatively low number).
