For those of you less familiar with the Legislative process, here are some notes to better explain what we are currently going through here at the Capitol.

As of February 17th, we have passed "First Lateral". This is when all Senate bills must move to the Senate final committee for hearing. This is an internal deadline that affects only those bills that are referred to more than one committee. Bills must be reported to the last referred committee by this date. This deadline is established to give the last referral committee adequate time to review and hear a bill before First Decking.

For example: (IGA/TGO, WAM)
IGA and TGO are the primary referral standing committees that must hear the bills BEFORE First Lateral. WAM is a secondary referral standing committee who must hear the bill AFTER First Lateral. Committee reports and amended bill drafts (if applicable), drafted by the last primary referral standing committee, must be filed with the Clerk's Office by the deadline to keep bills alive for further considerations.

Every session, the mandatory recess runs for five consecutive days and is intended to encourage the public to review all the bills introduced during the session. It provides legislators an opportunity to schedule public meetings in their respective districts to inform their constituents on the major issues and hot topics facing the Legislature.

However, during this recess, many things are still happening at the Capitol. Aside from public meetings in the community and office visits by lobbyists and constituents alike, bill hearings are still scheduled.
