I’ve added 5 pages to the sidebar to list which bills have passed the House, Senate, been sent to the Governor and signed or vetoed. Governor Perdue has only signed one bill so far, a local bill for Carroll county.

With almost 2000 bills & resolutions introduced and only 13 left in the session, this will help keep track of what is moving.
