2022 Legislative Session
AT THE CAPITOL
There are two and a half weeks left in the legislative session. During this legislative session, there have not been a tremendous number of bills passed or many session days. Starting this week, the General Assembly will be in session three days and then full time after that. There are too many issues to close, including the budget adjustments. Each committee has been told to pick a few issues to focus on and to try to include some bills within other bills.
The Legislative Commissioners’ Office (LCO) is extremely busy at this time as they create amendments for specific bills being heard in chamber that are put forth by both parties.
New judges have been nominated by the governor, including one each for the Supreme Court and the Appellate Court, and 11 superior court judges. They will be vetted this Friday at a public hearing in the Judiciary Committee. If approved by Judiciary, they will then go through the approval process in the General Assembly. After the nominees are approved, likely on the same day the following week, they will begin attending judges school the following day.
