In the first extraordinary session of 2008 the Senate received House messages regarding the passage of four House Bills. The Senate immediately took up three House Bills and read them a first, second and third time and passed them. They were: House Bill 102, which would establish boards of governors for independent community and technical colleges; House Bill 103, which would provide a one-time bonus payment to certain annuitants of the Public Employees Retirement System and the State Teachers Retirement System; and House Bill 104, which would require notice to the Governor, Secretary of the Department of Administration and the Legislature upon commencement of actions on behalf of the state. All of these bill now go to the Senate for its consideration.
The Senate then took up five supplemental appropriation bills from the Senate Finance Committee and immediately read the bills a first time. Following the suspension of constitutional rules requiring bills be read on three separate days the bills were passed and sent to the House of Delegates for their consideration. These bills were Senate Bill 1006, Senate Bill 1007, Senate Bill 1008, Senate Bill 1009 and Senate Bill 1011.
The Senate also amended and passed House Bill 101. These bills have all completed legislative action.
The Senate has adjourned Sine Die.
