LEGISLATIVE TIDBIT:  When the House and Senate do not agree on the budget, a conference committee is appointed with members from each house to resolve the differences.  Once the measure passes from the committee, each house votes on the bill as is, no  amendments can be offered.

This is the final full week of session and meetings are subject to change with little notice and are often delayed or canceled.  Please call if there is a particular bill of interest so the LIO can keep you posted.
