Feb. 16, 2024 Legislative update

In this 2024 Budget Session, out of 221 bills and 8 joint resolutions filed in the House, the second most in Budget Session history, 90 House bills and 4 resolutions died due to time constraints today, on Friday the 16th. Which is to say that 135 pieces of legislation were voted on during the introduction process. For comparison, during the previous Budget Session, in 2022, out of 163 pieces of legislation filed in the House, 52 died from the clock running out, and 111 were voted on for introduction. So even though many bills died this year, 24 more pieces of legislation were voted on this session than in the Budget Session of 2022.
