WHAT’S NEXT?
Both chambers will pass their respective budgets out from committee to the floor. We anticipate that once both chambers pass their budgets off the floor, negotiations will begin to find compromise operating and capital budgets for the 2015-2017.
As a reminder, several weeks remain until the 2015 regular legislative session adjourns on Friday, April 24. Stay tuned to the blog for more updates!
