FAQ:

What is “Consent Calendar” and “Suspense File”?

The Appropriations Committees review bills that have a fiscal impact. Because there are so many bills to review, the committee can group together bills that are not controversial, receive no dissenting votes in the preceding policy committee, and that have little fiscal impact for fast approval. These bills are put on the “Consent Calendar” and is the means by which many bills can be approved without further discussion. Any bill that has an estimated cost of $150,000 or more is sent to the “Suspense File” to later be evaluated based on available revenue in the state budget. No testimony is presented – author or witness – at the Suspense File hearing.
