The Senate and House continue to focus on advancing legislation to the Governor’s desk. Both chambers have concurred or sent bills to conference in hopes of passing them before the regular session is scheduled to adjourn on Sunday.

On the budget front negotiations have stalled. The Legislature will go into special session, the question is when.  Once the regular session adjourns then the decision will be whether the Governor calls the Legislature back right away or sends them home for a while.  Once the Governor does call the Legislature back, the special session is scheduled for 30 days.  The Legislature can adjourn early from the special session if their work is completed or take the full 30 days.  If the Legislature exceeds the 30 days then another special session will need to be called.
