Session Pace
How a session is moving compared with the ones before it. Sessions are lined up by session day, not calendar date: Day 1 is the first official day, and Org Days, when a session has them, are Day 0.

How the numbers are counted
- Session day counts calendar days from the first official day, like the constitutional clock (35 days for short sessions, 160 for long ones). Org Days, when a session has them, are Day 0. Bills pre-filed before the session count as introduced on the day of their first reading.
- Baseline is the most recent earlier session of the same kind (long with long, short with short). Every "ahead / behind" and every % is measured against it. A third, older session can be shown for context.
- Introduced, Reported out, Passed and Signed or filed count each measure once, on the day it first reached that stage. Public hearings and Work sessions count every bill-hearing held, so a bill heard twice counts twice; a meeting with no bills on it counts for nothing. The line charts and the grid add both chambers' committees together (joint and conference committees included); the pipeline splits them by chamber.
- Concurrence & conference counts bills sent back because the second chamber amended them. Passed in final form is the day a bill was actually finished: the second chamber's vote if nothing changed, otherwise the day the first chamber concurred and repassed it, or adopted the conference report. One-chamber resolutions (HR, SR) finish when their chamber adopts them.
- Signed or filed: bills are signed by the Governor; resolutions and memorials never go to the Governor and are filed with the Secretary of State instead. Vetoed bills are not counted.
- Signings run for weeks after sine die, so the charts can continue past it; that stretch is shaded. Weekends are lightly shaded when you zoom in.
- Special sessions are not charted. 2022 and 2023 come from the Legislature's public record and are included here only for comparison.
