Sierrans:
The following are the Bills Of Interest introduced so far this first 2
weeks. Bills are going to be pretty slow getting drafted and introduced this
year, with all the new legislators and new majority committee chairs. Very
few bills were 'pre-filed' before the Session, so there will be a big
backlog of session requests in bill drafting.
Look for lots of new ideas to float forward, at least for a glimpse, this
year. Remember, most of these bills, introduced early, will not go far.
The weblink should be 'live' and clicking would take you to the bill text.
