Legislature nears filing deadline

COEUR d’ALENE — The pace is quickening in Boise this week as the Legislature approaches the end of the session.

Earlier this week, legislative leadership confirmed it wants to end the session three weeks from today.

The Kootenai County legislative delegation said things are getting fairly hectic, but new legislation should slow after the transmittal deadline on Monday.

While it is not a hard-fixed deadline, it signals the point in the legislative process where lawmakers want to stop the flow of new legislation and finish what is already in play.
