This Week in the General Assembly: June 7th-11th

Updated: Jun 9, 2021


As we approach the end of session, fewer bills of interest are up for hearing, but many are scheduled for consideration. Scheduled for consideration means these bills get a vote in committee, but you cannot testify on them. However, you can always call or email your senators and reps directly!


If there is a bill you are passionate about scheduled for consideration, either in committee or on the floor, email us to let us know!
