Record year for drafting bills at Statehouse
The Legislative Service Bureau reports a record 2 028 bill draft requests this session. Only about 1 500 of those become bills, with amendments common and only a fraction surviving committee debate and the governor’s assent. Veteran lawmakers shape topics. Garrison notes surprise at the volume of requests.
