NOTES: (FE) means that the bill has a fiscal impact so a “Fiscal Estimate” will be prepared for the record.

Bold text indicates bill was passed and signed by the Governor.  

A bill has a “companion” when the exact same bill is introduced in both houses of the legislature. Both may move simultaneously instead of awaiting the action of one house of the legislature to act before taking the issue up in the other house.
