The Council of Election Officials (CEO) and MAMC Legislative Committee maintain a Bill Matrix, listing bills that have been introduced by the House or Senate, but not approved by both at the current time. Most bills are not likely to be signed into law, there are usually several bills introduced with a similar purpose and distinct differences. For those interested in viewing a current Bill Matrix PDF, it gives summary information on each bill with links to more specific details of a bill.
