Generally, the closer a bill is to the top of the Third Reading Calendar, the sooner it will be up for floor consideration. It is difficult to predict when a bill will come up for debate and vote because the Third Reading Calendar is often shifted and bills are considered out of order\u2014this happens more frequently later in the session. Furthermore, debate on bills can range from a couple minutes to hours in length, depending on the nature of the particular bill.<\/p>\n<a class=\"button text-bright size-small\" href=\"https:\/\/legislature.idaho.gov\/sessioninfo\/\" id=\"sc_button_4\">Go to Website<\/a><style>#sc_button_4{color:#ffffff !important}#sc_button_4:hover{background-color:#494949 !important}<\/style>\n<h4>Bill Tracker<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"dropcap\" style=\"color:#75c728;font-size:60px;line-height:60px\">5<\/span>Create your own Bill Tracker login here.<\/p>\n<a class=\"button text-bright size-small\" href=\"https:\/\/lso.legislature.idaho.gov\/MyBillTracker\/Login_input.do\" id=\"sc_button_5\">Go to Website<\/a><style>#sc_button_5{color:#ffffff !important}#sc_button_5:hover{background-color:#494949 !important}<\/style>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping track of the activity throughout the legislative session can be an overwhelming and daunting&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-891","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.idsba.org\/dayonthehill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.idsba.org\/dayonthehill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.idsba.org\/dayonthehill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.idsba.org\/dayonthehill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.idsba.org\/dayonthehill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=891"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.idsba.org\/dayonthehill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/891\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.idsba.org\/dayonthehill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.idsba.org\/dayonthehill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.idsba.org\/dayonthehill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
