General Assembly Bill Chart Update

Bill Chart
2013 Legislation

This is a chart of bills I have been monitoring since the beginning of the General Assembly session. Not all of these bills are active (bills “passed by indefinitely” or “laid on the table” are no longer a concern for this session). The bill number is hyper-linked, and clicking on it will take you to the legislative information system where you can read the bill in full pdf form.
