Keeping in touch
We completed our 35th legislative day on Saturday, February 12, 2011. The transmittal deadline for non-revenue bills to pass between the House and the Senate is Thursday, February 24th. Bills which have no revenues attached to them must be passed out of committee by Friday, February 18th so that they may heard on the floor of the House in order to be voted on by the House and complete the process in the lower chamber. Then the bills which pass 2nd and 3rd readings advance to the Senate for another thorough vetting. The bills which successfully complete the process in the Senate are then transmitted to the Governor’s office to be signed into law.
