Sunset reviews

The sunset calendar every lobbyist should own

Every DCA board and bureau sunsets January 1 on a 4-year rotation. The sunset bill is often the only vehicle that can move that board's practice-act changes for the year — miss the review and wait four years. Know the date, the bill, and your window.

Timeline
