Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Last Friday was policy cutoff – the deadline for policy bills to pass out of committee in the chamber where they were introduced. Any policy bills that were not voted out of committee by the end of business on Feb. 17 are considered “dead” for the year. Unfortunately, several good bills that would have improved public safety, recriminalized hard drugs, and reduced homelessness, did not advance by this deadline.  

Today, we have a similar deadline for fiscal bills.
