"Discretionary" is being used in a somewhat technical sense here.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_budget_process#Discretionary_and_mandatory_spending
I see what you mean.

So every year the Legislature has to chew through a dozen repeat bills? I'd guess most years they put them together in some kind of "omnibus" bill?

Can I be the first person to wonder "How does any new work get done?"
