Bulletin

The Legislative Bulletin shows the schedule for legislative sessions, committee meetings, public hearings, and other events.  It contains notes of interest to Legislators and staff.  It is published daily when the General Assembly is in session.  When the General Assembly is not in session, the Bulletin is published bi-weekly to show the schedule of events for a two-week period.

 

Go List

The Go List is the list of bills on the calendar that the House intends to take up on a particular session day.

(NOTE:  A link to this document is available only on the day the Go List is created.)

 

List of Bills Passed

The List of Bills Passed shows the bills passed as of the date specified.

 

List of Bills

The List of Bills is the listing of bill titles, numbers, suggested committees referrals, and statements of purpose, for bills filed in the Senate and House Clerks’ offices. Acceptance of a list of bills by the House constitutes each bill’s first reading and automatically refers the bills to their designated committees.  In the Senate, bills must also appear on the Senate Agenda.

 

House/Senate Journals

The House and Senate Journals detail the official record of the events and actions that occur in the House and Senate on each session day. There are separate journals for the Senate and House.

 

House/Senate Calendars

The House and Senate Calendars provide the daily list of bills awaiting action by the full Senate or House.
