I would expect that this will be the last report for the 2021 CGA legislative session.  Last in the listing is the budget implementer bill (S.B. #1202) which was passed at a special session on 6/15/2021.  There were several bills passed in that 6/15 session, but only that specific S.B. 1202 had any issues that […]

All, All bills listed completely in GREEN passed both chambers.  They are not official until assigned a Public Act number and are signed by the Governor. Bills still in RED died either in committee or on their respective calendar.  I left them on the list for now to show all that were being tracked and […]

Little to report this week.  Normally a 4 day week because of the Monday holiday, but because this was the last weekend before the end of session, the Senate worked late Friday night into Sat A.M and the House came in at noon Saturday and worked all day into the late evening.  Now only 3 […]

All, It has been said that the days dwindle down to a precious few.  Last week was a 4 day week because of the holiday and the coming week will be a 4 day week also.  When the CGA goes back to work on Tuesday there will only be 9 days left to the regular […]

Down to 2 and a half weeks before adjournment.  Both chambers were in session Tues, Wed, & Thur this past week.  They were busy all days, but some of the bills were “talkers”.  These are bills in which there is a lot of debate and lots of discussion.  Sometimes on days like these, legislators may […]

Only 3 and a half weeks until adjournment of the regular 2021 session.  Both chambers met multiple times this past week.  There was still only one day that they were working at the same time.  More legislators are coming into the building, but not into the chambers.  They now have a “button” in their offices […]

My apologies to all, if you are receiving some of this information twice.  It appears that maybe some may not have received last week’s info until mid-week.  Even though, not too much has occurred since.  No bills have actually passed both chambers.  Bills have moved between committees and from committee to chamber and vice versa.   […]

The Covid 19 pandemic continues to make it’s effect on the 2021 session.  Normally, at this time, most of us are spending almost every week day at the Capitol or LOB.  The Capitol complex continues to remain closed to the public.  This past week the House met on Monday and the Senate met on Tues […]

The 2021 CGA session continues to move forward albeit slowly.  The Capitol Complex continues to be closed to normal usage.  Meetings are still held via a ZOOM format.  That in itself slows the process.  Per the rules, committee votes that are by a roll call requires that the individual legislators must be seen as well […]

Session activity has slowed down now that most committees are closed to new bills.  There were few committee meetings last week except Judiciary, Finance, & Appropriations.  Judicial reached it’s JF day on Friday.  Finance and Appropriations are still meeting but will each reach their JF day by weeks end.   Many bills that had been JFd […]
