"The House has yet to take up Senate-approved bills tackling prescription drug prices, the early education and care sector, competitive electric supply companies, home fuel leak insurance coverage, and automobile sales. The Senate, meanwhile, is sitting on legislation that already cleared the House reforming the long-term care sector, imposing new health care cost controls and hospital oversight, and allowing employees to take paid time off to vote in elections.
Then there's the quartet of bills that have already won approval in both chambers, but since fallen into the void of closed-door House-Senate negotiations, and other measures that are likely to emerge but still exist only in the realm of ideas, like new climate and clean energy legislation.
Adding up all of those bills laid out here produces a no-doubt incomplete list of 21 major pieces of legislation that still need more legislative action to hit Healey's desk. Did we mention there's exactly 10 weeks left until the end of formal sessions for the term?
You can do the math on the pace that will be required."
