Monday March 3rd - Session Cancelled Due To Weather

The session is canceled for Monday, March 3rd making Tuesday March 4th the Thirty-eighth legislative day. The 2014 session is nearly 2/3 of the way over, but there is much yet to do. Only four bills have made it all the way through the legislative process and the last day to introduce a House bill should have been today, but it may in fact be tomorrow,  Tuesday, March 4th. The original session calendar calls for Wednesday to be the last day to introduce a Senate bill. Friday March 28th & Monday March 31st have been set aside for concurrence days before the veto session begins on April 1st. That leaves only 19 working days for both Chambers to pass a budget, send it to conference committee and reach a compromise. The pressure will start to mount this week.
SB7 and SB 113 have become law. Two additional bills, HB 181 and HB 98 have been enrolled and delivered to the Governor. And HB 70 is awaiting concurrence. There have been 84 House bills that have passed out of the House and are awaiting passage in the Senate and 51 Senate bills that have passed out of the Senate and awaiting passage in the House.

    WASHINGTON – Responding to Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul’s attacks on former President Bill Clinton’s past, a Democratic Super PAC with ties to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has produced an ad depicting the Republican lawmaker as so yesterday.
