Calendar Committee Members Hardest Worked In Assembly
Raleigh March 20 The chairmen and members of the house and senate calendar committees have read and passed on more than 1,000 bills in the last 18 to 20 days as they handle referrals for every introduced bill and the long backlog from house to senate. Senator H P Taylor and Representative J Hill Paylor lead committees noted for near round‑the‑clock work with many bills local and trivial, while both chambers review, study, and report on each measure. The senate panel has matched the pace, claiming similar read and pass totals and a focus on avoiding dangerous bills. With few new bills, the committees now have little to do.
