Legislative Updates

April 2024 - Current Legislative Update: 
This month, the 2023-24 legislative session is officially adjourned. With the legislature adjourned, all bills that were not signed into law are essentially dead and will need to be reintroduced in the next session to begin the process all over. Almost two months have passed since the Governor signed the new legislative maps. The new maps paired current legislators from two old districts into one new district, setting up a primary battle. Incumbents and legislative candidates are collecting signatures for their nomination papers, which are due by June 1. WPRA has been monitoring several bills closely this session that have now passed both houses and were sent to the Governor for his review.
