Sorry Saturday Night Live fans — no comedy here, but there were some important legislative actions yesterday.
HB 2328 which would correct some problems with the “belt-tightening” bill that passed earlier in the year has cleared Senate Ways and Means; it now goes to the floor.
HB 2344, which would allow lawmakers to exceed the 7% cap on resident undergraduate tuition cleared House Ways and Means; it now faces a vote by the full House.
Also, budget negotiations are continuing — reports are that the Governor is becoming more involved in an effort to bring the session to a close by next Sunday, the scheduled adjournment date.
