Legislative leaders released the long-awaited list of committee assignments for the 126th Legislature.
Below is the complete list.
Although we've yet to see much of the new Democratic majority's policy agenda, a few committees will are likely to see a lot of action, particularly the Appropriations Committee, which handles budget-writing and is the last stop for spending bills. It is probably the most powerful committee in the Legislature.
Also look for key policy initiatives to come through the Criminal Justice, Education, Energy and Labor Committee.
