CHBRP’s 60-day timeline of the analytic process

CHBRP’s authorizing statute requires that CHBRP provide the Legislature with its analysis within 60 days of having received a request from the referring committee. To meet this deadline, a timeline was developed to coordinate the various analytical processes.
