Governor and state agencies would submit proposals before sessions

The governor and state departments and agencies would send proposed bills and joint resolutions to the legislative services agency, which would review them and submit them to lawmakers for committee referral. This covers proposals the governor and state departments and agencies want the legislature to consider. The governor's proposals must be submitted by the Friday before the session begins, except in the year of the governor's first inauguration. The printed wording gives both “forty-five” and “sixty” as the number of days before each session, so the general deadline is unclear. The governor's proposals are due by the Friday before the session begins, except in the year of the governor's first inauguration. The general lead time is unclear in the printed text.

Before sending a proposal to lawmakers, the legislative services agency would return it to the relevant department, agency, or governor's office for review. This applies to proposals prepared under this section. The relevant department, agency, or governor's office must review and return the proposal within seven days of receiving it. The review and return are due within seven days after the relevant office or agency receives the proposal.
