Below you will find the 2010 bill track of filed legislation. The initial track consists of bills we are tracking related to aerospace. We are still tracking carryover bills from the 2009 session, but they are NOT included in this initial track. At the end of each week during the legislative session a new post of legislative items will be onlined here.

Please thoroughly review the bills we are tracking and let us know of any concerns, additional comments or insight you have about any legislation you see listed.

In order to take full advantage of the bill track listing, please note the following:

At the top of each track is a “legend” showing the progress a bill has made which represents the color-coded bar just beneath the bill number
The name just to the right of the bill number shows the legislation’s author
To the right of the bill author, you will see the “bill caption” which provides a brief overview of what the legislation pertains to
Underneath the caption you will see the “bill history” and a listing of the last five actions taken as the bill moves through the legislative process
Should you see a red “A” beside a bill number it indicates the bill has advanced and action has been taken since the prior week’s bill track
