Each lawmaker can file up to three more bills until Feb. 2, but they need to be aware of crossover day a few weeks later. That’s when all bills need to move from their chamber of origin (House or Senate) to the other side. Bills that don’t make it in time die on the vine.

She was stripped of her committee assignments on Wednesday and lost her voting privileges the next day. Details on why are scarce, but the hubbub is tied to Frye-Mueller’s feelings about vaccines, according to The Associated Press.
