Recommended Posts

Yesterday in the Senate, SB424 Criminal Law - Tech passed to the House as amended by Senate Amendment 1 and Senate Amendment 2.  Upon arrival in the House this bill was quickly read into the record, committee posting requirements were waived, and the bill was heard and approved for consideration by the House Judiciary - Criminal Committee.  It has been moved from the Senate calendar to the House calendar today.  Assuming the House adds session on Saturday, the bill will have enough time to be passed to the Governor.


The House is scheduled for 5:00 PM.  The Senate is not in.
