I was looking throgh the legislative page today and was looking at the cutoff calender. it says that tomorrow 2/3 is the last day to read committee reports from the house of orgin. does that mean that after tomorrow they will only be dealing with bills that have already been introduced? I'm sorry to sound ignorant on this but I am hoping that this means there will be no more firearm related bills introduced after tomorrow. Thanks in advance Eric |

Tomorrow 2/3 is the first cut off day, bills that have not passed their original policy committee are considered dead for the session (recall that “dead” doesn’t always mean “dead” in the legislature). They need to be passed out of their committee after having been read in their house of origin and been referred to a commitee. Tuesday, 14 February is the final day to consider bills in their house of origin (Senate or House). Bills that have not passed out of their house of origin at that point are considered dead for the session (same caveat about “dead” applies). Friday, 24 February is the policy committee cut-off day for the second chamber (House Bills in the Senate, Senate Bills in the House). Friday, 3 March is the final day to consider all bills – except those in a conference committee or any other extraordinary consideration the legislature wants to extend. There should be no more bills introduced this legislative session, neither should there be any action taken on any of the several antigun bills that were reintroduced this session, but nothing is 100% there are ways, extrordinary ways, to get around the calendar. |
