Nothing in the tracker became law or passed a chamber this week. 29 of the 30 tracked measures recorded some action during the week.

The House was the busier chamber, with 19 of the 29 actions. 7 of the tracked measures deal with Oversight, the most common subject, ahead of Housing and Act 60.

28 of the 30 measures on the list were not on it on Oct 23; the table below lists what moved. 14 of the 30 measures are still introduced or in committee.
