Description
Press release from Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce:
April 29, 2022
With less than two weeks remaining in the legislative session, a lot of work remains to be done before legislators leave the Capitol, with some saying this is the most backed-up they've ever seen the system. Some major legislation has been introduced in the past week, and there's still a lot to accomplish in the coming days.
As the first "normal" legislative session since the pandemic, it seems that legislators have been eager to pump out legislation. They've introduced 645 bills this session, but, as always, it's still a slow process. 232 of the bills introduced are still awaiting committee action as of Thursday, and the number of bills that are still going through the legislative process and require action is at 328.
On Sunday, May 1, the General Assembly enters its last ten days of the 2022 session, and, traditionally, only the Appropriations, Finance and State Affairs Committees meet and handle all remaining bills. We are expecting that these committees will be working weekends to try to get through the massive amount of bills remaining.
