This week at the General Assembly, lobbyists and legislators will be scrambling to get all of their legislation through crossover.
Crossover is the agreed upon date set by the legislature that is set out as a time line. Bills that do not have appropriations must pass at least one chamber prior to the crossover deadline to remain active for the long session.
Thursday, May 14th is crossover this year.
In other news, the House is continuing its work on their proposed budget. The news last week indicated that the House must cut an additional $1.5 billion from the Senate's budget. We are anticipating that the House will roll out its budget right after crossover.
