Governor Calls Special Session
Special Session will begin on July 1st. With a call that, so far, only has 3 items on the agenda, there is a real chance that lawmakers might be able to finish on July the 3rd in order to keep their vacation plans intact. Although, Special Sessions can be full of surprises, so don't hold your breath. In years past, agenda items had been worked out prior to the beginning of the Special Session. All it took was for one person to notice a possible unintended consequence of the pre-approved compromise for the wheels to fly off and cause a heated, full Special Session. Reports are circulating of bills that will be refiled in hopes that the call gets broadened. Chances of getting very specific bills on the agenda are very slim at this point, but we will keep an eye on what continues to develop over the weekend.
