The 2024 legislative session started earlier this week with the State of the State address by Governor Brad Little. This year, he was cautiously optimistic. His proposed budget includes his continued support for education, infrastructure, and public safety.

The 2024  legislative session for the House of Representatives started the day after the governor’s address. Committee meetings (State Affairs, Judiciary, Education, etc.) started a day after that.

 The pace of the session seems faster than last year. There are several themes already developing. It’s important to note that as of today, there have been no comprehensive hearings on any of the introduced bills, including the following. Most representatives, including me, are just now getting access to these bills.
