During the last legislative session, the busy little beavers in Austin passed (and the Governor signed) 1625 bills into law.  So far this session, they’re already off to a quick start, with 391 bills filed in the House and 155 bills filed in the Senate. 

It really irks me to see this sort of thing, since there’s no chance in hell that the average citizen can keep up with all the new laws.  As I wrote in the above linked article, I’d like to see a requirement that the government notify every citizen about all the new laws as well as (like a commenter suggested) a sunset provision where they were required to reauthorize every previous law every 10 years.
