State lawmakers left the governor's AIDS testing veto in place during the fall session week. Prisoners awaiting parole will not face mandatory HIV tests, while other measures advance. The Senate schedules Oct 30 votes on statewide grand juries for drug cases and property tax reform, and continues debate on riverboat gambling and related deals.
