Biennial Legislature Debate Faces Key Bills and Proposals
UPI reports Senate leaders eye ending the current session in about three weeks if leadership resolves remaining bills. Major items include the 18 year old rights and responsibilities and criminal code debates, with time pressed by numerous small measures. A constitutional amendment proposal would let voters choose biennial sessions, while a bill limiting study topics faces a defeat risk before committee. Critics warn spending controls may be hard over two years.
