May 23rd was the last day for the house to consider 2nd reading senate bills and senate joint resolutions on the Daily or Supplemental Calendar. When the midnight deadline arrived, there were just over 20 senate bills left on the calendar. Those bills not taken up may be considered dead, however; the language of a bill can still hitch a ride on another bill as an amendment. As deadlines loom, HillCo will continue to watch the progress of legislation and provide key updates as legislation moves.*
