On day 105 of the 120-day legislative session, lawmakers have 374 bills out of 673 bills introduced that need action between now and midnight, May 8, when the session adjourns.
The number of bills introduced in 2024 is the fifth highest in the last 25 years. Four sessions have had more than 700 bills, with 2003 at the high watermark, with 736.
According to data from the Office of Legislative Legal Services, the House has introduced 462 bills, the Senate 211. The larger number for the House reflects not only its more members but also the fact that it took the lead on appropriations bills this year, including the state budget and dozens of related bills.
