Appropriations Deadlines

     Friday, May 23rd was the last day for bills to remain in their first house fiscal committees. The big Appropriations deadline has passed and all bills which failed have been marked 2-Year in CapitolTrack. Here’s how the numbers compare to past sessions:

     337 bills failed last Friday’s deadline while 306 bills failed this same deadline in 2023 and 213 failed in 2021. To control for our totals, this represents 18.7% failure rate (of 1802 Fiscal Bills) this year, 14.3% failure rate (of 2136 Fiscal Bills) in 2023, and 10.5% failure rate (of 2019 Fiscal Bills) in 2021. The number of bills which fail this deadline appears to be rising consistently each session.

     The next Legislative Deadline will require all bills pass their house of origin and move on to their second house, it falls on Friday, June 6th. We’ll have another comparison graph for you thereafter!
