HOW LAWS ARE MADE

Hundreds of bills are introduced during the first 10 days of each legislative session with only some making it into law. If bills did not make it out of committee or pass by the end of the 2024 session, they will not carryover to 2025. Similar bills and topics can be re-introduced next session and will need to go through the same process again. While the process can be difficult to track at times, we’ll keep you up to date and let you know when your voice will be most impactful. Learn more about this process.
