Proposed by state agencies
Before each session, state departments ask the Legislature to take up bills they’ve drafted: clean-ups, program changes, new fees and penalties. They’re the first look at a new Assembly’s agenda, posted from December. A committee usually introduces them as study bills; until then they have only a drafting (LSB) number.
