With less than 72 hours before the 2024 General Assembly wraps up its regular session, there are still 236 bills, with at least one more coming to finish.

There are still 55 bills that have yet to leave the House and 22 Senate bills awaiting final action. If those bills do not move out of their respective chambers by tomorrow, they die on the calendar.

As of Monday morning, 67 Senate bills were awaiting action in the House, and 92 House bills were awaiting Senate action.

A property tax bill is expected to be introduced on Monday, leaving it at least three days to reach a conclusion by midnight Wednesday.

There are 90 (plus one more) more bills introduced in 2024 than in 2023, for a total of 707, including the new property tax bill.

How that works:

A bill can be introduced in its first chamber on the first day. On day one, it must win committee approval(s) and preliminary approval from the first chamber.

Day two: The bill must win a third reading and final vote in its first chamber. It then moves to the second chamber, goes through committee(s) approval, and wins preliminary approval on a second reading the same day.

Day three: the bill is up for its final vote in the second chamber.

Among the bills that won’t be headed to the governor’s desk this year:

House Bill 1230, a construction defects bill favored by homeowners and trial lawyers, is not expected to win Senate approval. It’s been awaiting Senate action for three weeks.

House Bill 1178, a bill to allow local governments to regulate pesticides, has been stalled in the House since March 15. Opponents have said they have the votes to kill the bill.

Senate sponsors of Senate Bill 208, which called for standardization of electric vehicle charging stations, threw in the towel on the measure on April 29.
