Er, I meant "in action". :P

[allbad]

normally, I am all for government inaction... the fewer laws being passed means the fewer rights and dollars take away. Not in this case.

the readings seem to be going pretty quick right now, but there's tons tons tons of bills to go. They're on HB 983 of the May 9th Supplemental calendar, about 1/7th the way down the list. I presume they would then go to the Daily house calendar?

Ohh! Our political hero was just on about HB 1324.... totally unrelated, but good to see he doesn't have a 1 track mind.

Does anyone know what is going on? I see them busting through dozens of bills, but only reading them in a hurry and I don't see any discussion, and it sounds like they are all passing. On the other hand, I don't see any of these bills on the calendar.

Does anyone know what is going on or how this works?

[corndog]

All of them (including ours) are on the supplemental calendar.

so what do you think corn.....is there a chance it comes up tomm?

[allbad]

they're about 25% done now. I didn't see that HB 3186 was on the supplemental calendar as well.

arod-

I'd love to see it come up by tomorrow, but by my quick count there are well over 100 to go before it. I don't know enough about the process to know if they have any chance to rush through that many in time.

I'm hopeful, but not optimistic.

oh geez, they just called HB 3168 and I'm like WHAT?!?!? them i remembered how dyslexic I am.
