Austin reports a sweeping overhaul of the election code is due as Senate passes a bill fixing errors in 1951 reform. House edits include scrapping the agent form for poll tax payments and sending qualification certs to courthouses, while rural development and ethics bills move through committees. The session faces big issues, including a $32 million higher education package and loan regulations, with a constitutional poll tax fate undecided.
