Two weeks, 315 bills left in 2018 legislative session

Well, at least the count went down a little.
With 14 days left in the 2018 General Assembly session, the count for bills that are still pending some form of action has gone down, but not by much.
There are now 174 bills in the House awaiting decisions ranging from committee hearing to governor’s decision and 141 in the Senate, for a total of 315. That’s down 13 from a week ago. Thirteen.
The total number of bills introduced in both chambers is now at 689, up 32 from the previous week, meaning lawmakers are still adding more bills than subtracting.
And most of the major bills that will close out the 2018 session are all still moving, albeit slowly, through the legislature. That includes:
One bill has now come off the list: Senate Bill 3, to reauthorize the Colorado Energy Office. The House voted 48 to 14 to approve the measure on April 19, and given that it wasn’t amended, now heads off to the governor for signing.
The 2018 General Assembly session adjourns for the year on Wednesday, May 9.
