Reports for the 2019 Legislative Session:

NOTE ON REPORTS: With a few exceptions, reports for the 2019 legislative session are dynamic reports. When you click a report link, the report will run and present itself on your screen -- in real-time, and up-to-date at the time it was run.

A .PDF READER IS REQUIRED TO VIEW MOST OF THESE REPORTS!

As in the past, reports are added to this list as they become relevant. For example, a Hearing Calendar is not relevant until hearings are scheduled (and their scheduled date falls within the reporting period), so will not appear on this list until that time.
