It includes a few of the bills on which individual departments have testified, but I am sure it does not include all. Out of about 2,900 bills introduced in the 2017 Legislative session,we identified almost 700 that were worth tracking because of the effect they could have on the County. As you will see, we actually weighed in on about 100, some multiple times as they moved through committees. Please let me know if you have any questions. Andy 1 Legislative update .
