CapitolWatch updates

By Jodi Malinoski, Chapter Policy Advocate | Reading time: .5 minutes

We're about halfway through the 2021 legislative session and want to mahalo everyone who is engaging with us in CapitolWatch. Despite it being a challenging all-remote session, your voices matter and are making a big impact!

This Friday, March 5th is “first decking." This is the deadline when bills must emerge from all their committees and be “decked” to ensure a mandatory 48 hour review period for legislators to read amendments made to bills before they vote on third reading. After third reading, the bills crossover to the other chamber and have to make it through another set of bill hearings.
