The 2017 session will not officially open until Monday, but already there are 44 House bills and 31 Senate bills introduced, for a total of 75.

We are tracking 9 of those bills and have a preliminary opinion. As always, we rely on you the people to let us know which bills to track and how to respond to them. If you do not provide that information, then do not be surprised if we miss bills that interest you and/or suggest actions without considering your input.

In the days ahead there will be a lot of activity and we will be providing some very valuable information. In the meantime you may want to download and check out four important articles:

1. How to send e-mails to all legislators the easy way: E-MAIL LEGISLATORS 

2. How a bill becomes a law – short version: BILL TO LAW - BASIC 

3. How a bill becomes a law – detailed version: BILL TO LAW - ADVANCED 

4. List of all bills already introduced: BILLS-2017

The following chart contains the bills we are tracking, including the legislators that introduced them and our opinion. Please e-mail legislators using the method described in #1 above. Give your opinion, which, as usual, may agree or disagree with ours.

As of today, ALIS/RTS is not available to render committee hearing opinions.
