The Senate met this evening to accept House reports regarding the passage of nine bills by that body. The Senate took those reports up for immediate consideration and read them a first time. The constitutional amendment requiring a bill be read on three separate days was then suspended and the bills were read a second and third time.
Six bills were read three times and passed without amendments and have now completed legislative action. These bills are: House Bill 211, House Bill 214, House Bill 215, House Bill 216, House Bill 217 and House Bill 218.
Three bills were read three times and passed with amendments by the Senate and must now go to the House for their approval. These bills are: House Bill 210, House Bill 212, and House Bill 213.
The Senate also took up and passed a supplemental appropriation bill, Senate Bill 2014, which would make an appropriation to various state accounts from the General Revenue Fund. This bill now advances to the House for their consideration.
The Senate will reconvene tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.
