Bill Submissions for 126^th Legislature’s Second Session Decided

On Wednesday, October 30^th, the Legislative Council met to determine which bill submissions will be considered during the second regular session of the 126^th Legislature, scheduled to begin in January. Unlike the first regular session, bills submitted by lawmakers for the second session must be approved by Legislative Council in order to move forward. During the meeting on Wednesday 99 of the 392 bill proposals were approved, 4 were tabled, and the rest were rejected. Lawmakers whose bill proposals were rejected will have the opportunity to appeal the Council’s decision. 

My only bill submission for the upcoming session, An Act to End Hunger, Protect Small Farms and Homesteads and Promote Self-Sufficiency for the People of the State, was rejected by the Council. I don't know whether I will appeal or not.

Remember to vote tomorrow.
