Day 28 - We're back on the House Floor this morning to consider a few bills. If today goes like the rest of this Special Session, we'll run 6 to 8 bills for the day. To put it into perspective, we run 30 to 50 when we're actually working, so 6 to 8 bills per day is nothing to be happy about.
We've been told an agreement's been reached on the Workers Comp reform bill. I've been able to read it and it appears to have some good provisions in it, especially the structured settlement provisions which is essentially compromise and release. We've also heard the Operating Budget negotiations are improving, so we could actually get that finished by Wednesday. The Capital Budget negotiations, however, are not going well and could be a significant roadblock to actually ending this session.
The Ways and Means Committee is scheduled to meet at 5:00 tonight, which means we might be working late. It's amazing that 28 days into the Special Session the Democrat Majority continue to move frivolous bills forward for consideration.
