What happens to legislation that is not passed by the end of the second year of the biennium?

Legislation that is not passed by the end of the second year of the biennium is considered to have "died." This means that it cannot move forward automatically or be acted upon in the next session without going through the legislative process again. For a bill to be considered again, it must be reintroduced in the next legislative session. This process ensures that legislative proposals are actively discussed and voted on within the time frame allocated for each biennium, fostering a more efficient use of legislative time and resources. Therefore, without reintroduction, any bill that does not pass by the deadline is effectively concluded and cannot be carried over into the next biennium.
