Legislative Update – Week of May 9
Both the House and Senate did a considerable amount of work on budgets during the previous week, but differences remain between the House version, Senate version, and Goveor’s request. The House also took votes on a number of controversial issues, including the concealed carry proposal and a bill allowing the use of marijuana for medical purposes. Neither bill gaered sufficient support to pass, but the concealed carry legislation was placed on “postponed consideration” and could, therefore, be brought up again if the sponsors feel that their numbers have changed.
