Even though a "short" or 60 day session has begun on January 8, to end on March 8, the bills are pouring in like there is no end in sight! Bills unworthy of special attention last session are attempting to be included in this session, as we run a bicameral or 2-year legislative cycle. All bills introduced last year technically are viable this year. Unfortunately many new bills were also introduced this year to bring the total of introduced bills to date for the two sessions to 3,053as of this writing. Gratefully, all bills will be "dead" or not acted on next session, and to be in play would need to be reintroduced to go through the entire legislative process. This seems to me to be a great recipe for disfunction!
