  • Legislative Update | Jan. 29 - Feb. 2, 2024

    Feb 02, 2024
    We cleared the first big hurdle of this year’s legislative session this week when bills had to pass out of their policy committees. Bills with fiscal implications must pass out of House Appropriations or Senate Ways and Means by February 5.

After that, the bills move to the other side and the process repeats.
