9,002 bills and joint resolutions were filed during this session, of which 79 were sent to the Governor's desk for signature. Out of the 79 bills, only one house bill has made it this far in the process. In public education finance news, the House and Senate are negotiating school finance. They seem to be pretty far apart on this issue and have about three weeks to come to an agreement. HB 2 (Buckley) and SB 26 (Creighton) are the two different visions currently being discussed.
The appropriations bill is in the Conference Committee, and the members are working to bring the final budget to the floor before the end of the session.
SB 1613 (Johnson) and HB 977 (Noble) sit in their respective committees. The deadline for the House to pass bills out of committee is Monday, May 12.
