2008 Legislative Session Recap

The Legislature adjourned Sine Die at 6:02 p.m. May 2nd, bringing the 2008 legislative session to a close.  This year’s session was one of the most unique in many years due to the state’s unprecedented fiscal slowdown.  Out of 2503 bills introduced, a record low 313 were passed this year as activity slowed down to a crawl on the final days of session.  Most of last week was spent saying goodbye to term limited legislators as well as the presiding officers.
