Even though bill introduction ended last week, a slight tick upwards in total numbers may continue as substitute bills are permitted under regular rules almost to the very end of the session. There also may be select inclusions and removals from the list of good and bad bills depending upon how they are amended. This past week, SB 81 was amended into a benign form and thus is removed from the list of bad bills.
Note also that some links are not present, as with HB 55, SB 66, and SB 76, and occasionally the count of bills that have moved from committee will be off from week to week. This is because the Legislature’s staff gets lazy at times and does not properly update all bills’ status or current texts. For example, with HB 55, it still lists as having been heard in committee with no action (that is, passage or involuntarily deferral, when in fact it was passed out of committee (see http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2011/05/bill_limiting_convicted_sex_of.html).
THIS WEEK FOR THE GOOD: HB 7 with minor amendment passed House committee; HB 31 with minor amendment passed House committee; HB 55 with minor amendment passed House committee; HB 537 passed House committee; HB 549 with minor amendment passed the House; HB 636 passed the House; SB 13 passed Senate committee; SB 66 with minor amendment passed Senate committee; SB 76 with minor amendment passed Senate committee; SB 108 with major amendment passed Senate committee; SB 131 with minor amendment passed Senate committee; SB 137 with minor amendment passed Senate committee.
THIS WEEK FOR THE BAD: HB 99 was involuntarily deferred.
