LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

February 4, 2022

2022 Legislative Session - Week 4

The first cutoff this session occurred Thursday, February 3rd and some bills are now considered to be 'dead' as they failed to receive a vote out of committee. Below are the current movements of the ones we're watching.

Bills that continue to move still need support. Once voted to the opposite chamber, the process begins again and will need testimony. Access our website or use this link to testify on bills or reach the representatives and senators. The free Legislative Hotline at 1-800-562-6000 is also available. View all things legislative such as committee hearings and floor action via TVW both online and the TVW television channels in your area.
