During its 11 a.m. session, the Senate amended and passed House Bill 210 after suspending the constitutional rule requiring a bill be read on three separate days. This bill deals with the transfer election of pensions from the Teachers’ Defined Contribution system to the Teachers Retirement System. The House must now concur in the Senate amendments before the bill can become law.
Senators also concurred in a House amendment to a Senate amendment to House Bill 212. The bill, which relates to the creation of a testing schedule for school bus drivers, was then passed again and sent to the Governor for his approval.
The Senate is in recess until 12:15 p.m.
