Legislators and the public officially know the timeline for getting bills through the committee process this session.
Here are the three deadlines for the 2022 session:

- Friday, April 1 — Committees must act favorably on bills, or companions of bills, that met the first deadline in the other body.
- Friday, April 8 — Committees must act favorably on major appropriation and finance bills.
The final deadline comes a day before the annual Easter/Passover break, scheduled April 9-18.
