Legislative regular session through Jun. 27, 2009

We’re safe again, the Legislature is out of session. HB 802 also is going to be removed from the list of bad bills because it started out with certain objectionable features, got those replaced by others, but in the end actually probably was more good than bad. In addition, so will SB 296 as changes made to it along the way may have the effect, under certain economic conditions, of not costing the state more money even if the payoff period for some of it is pushed back 11 years. So let’s see how it dealt with good and bills before completely turning things over to the governor.

THIS WEEK FOR THE GOOD: HB 765 had rules suspended to report with minor amendments from Senate committee, with minor amendments passed the Senate, had concurrence refused by the House, had conference report accepted by the House and Senate; HB 902 had rules suspended to report with minor amendments from Senate committee, with minor amendments passed the Senate, had concurrence by the House, and was sent to the governor; HB 903 had rules suspended to report with minor amendments from Senate committee, with minor amendments passed the Senate, had concurrence by the House, and was filed with the Secretary of State; SB 1 with minor amendments passed House committee; with minor amendments passed the House, and had the Senate refuse concurrence; SB 2 passed House committee, passed the House, and was sent to the governor; SB 34 passed the House and had concurrence rejected by the Senate; SB 183 was passed by the House; SB 195 with minor amendments passed the House, had concurrence by the Senate and was sent to the governor; SB 223 passed the House, had concurrence by the Senate and was sent to the governor; SB 267 passed House committee, passed the House, had concurrence by the Senate and was sent to the governor.
