Legislative OverviewToday is the twelfth day of the second regular session of Arizona's 50th Legislature. Committee activity was light during the session's second week, as legislators continued to focus on drafting and filing new bills.A "7-bill introduction limit" was imposed in the House of Representatives at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 12. Up until that time, representatives were free to introduce an unlimited number of bills, memorials and resolutions. After that time, and until 5:00 p.m. on Monday February 2, House members may introduce only seven new measures. The deadline for senators to open bill folders (a prerequisite to the introduction of new legislation) was Monday, January 17 at 5:00 p.m. Neither the House nor Senate deadlines prevent the introduction of new initiatives later in the legislative process through the use of "striker" amendments. |
