Legislation: Bills Supported
As we near the end of the first quarter of the 122nd Legislature (2005), more than 1500 bills have been submitted for consideration. Over the coming months, as these bills are made into official legislative documents and scheduled for public hearing, we'll be listing and describing the most significant and controversial issues being considered for you right here.
