They better hurry. The Local and Consent Calendars deadlines begin tomorrow.Papa_Tiger wrote:If you look at the number of items that wind up on the Local Calendar (or Local Consent) which seems to be reserved for the least contentious bills, A LOT will get pushed through in pretty short order. It is many of the contentious bills that will take a bit more time and have more floor attention in both chambers.K5GU wrote: I'll wait 'till after this session ends to articulate what I think about the inefficient practices of this legislature. Considering the 6000 + bills still on file this session, and assuming maybe 20% of those bills have enough teeth to be considered, with 14 days or so left, they'd have to process approx. 90 bills per day before the deadline. Good luck with that!
Frankly, I'm glad to some extent, that the founders of Texas set up our Constitution to make it hard for the Legislature to do much.
