Many bills have passed in their originating chamber and are now being considered in the opposite chamber.
Each bill has been assigned to a committee. Bills must first be voted out of committee for a bill to receive a vote in the House or Senate.
There is still time to stop bad bills and help good bills become law.
For GOOD bills to get a chance at becoming law, they first need to get a committee hearing. Reach out to the committee chairs for the bills that matter most to you and urge them to give these bills a hearing.
