Legislature push in half time session and major bills pass
Yesterday the state legislature began with only half its allotted time. The recall measure advanced in the house along with seven other bills including a new county and labor department. The senate approved three bills including a five year tax exemption and public improvements for corporations or individuals. The Metz initiative and referendum bill passed the house by 46 to 5 with five absent, and a similar senate bill was introduced with a higher voter threshold. The Metz bill creating a state department of labor cleared the house by 49 to zero with seven absent. The Campbell county bill slicing Crook and Weston counties also passed, while the Blume direct primary and coal weighing bills moved forward. Other measures approved covered court time, liquor license credit, judgment transcripts, discriminatory statutes, and legal publication rules. Errors found in the Metz state deposits provision led to referrals for correction as committees study elk feeding appropriations. A new senate bill to amend public records and an elk feeding measure proceed toward third reading.
