Thanks to Matt Jaffe in the Office of Government Relations for most of the following: 

Last week saw the Legislature’s first major deadline as Thursday, April 21^st was the last day for bills to move out of policy committees in their chamber of origin. Committees that are not subject to these deadlines include the Revenue and Rules Committees in each chamber as well as the Joint Tax Credit and Ways and Means Committees. Bills that were not moved to the floor or a committee that is not subject to this deadline are no longer in action, though legislators may still introduce new priority bills.
