My committee (MCG) is in Executive Session again today. There's also a CRIM&SFTY hearing scheduled for one of my bills at the same time, so they conflict. Voting on stuff is more important, so unfortunately I'll just have to leave the other bill to die...Permalink On twitter.com

all of this morning's motions relating to HB1070 (reconsider, the original ITL from yesterday being reconsidered today, and today's OTP) end up going along party lines, 10-9. So, it looks like it ends up passing after all...Permalink On twitter.com

Next is HB1081, which we were supposed to exec yesterday, but got moved to today. It's relative to the dissolution of a village district; sponsor wants to change threshold from a 2/3 vote to a simple majority.Permalink On twitter.com

Now: HB1161, re: ethics obligations for local/county officials. GOP are making the ITL motion for us, so it looks like this'll be unanimous.

HB1219 is ITL-ed along party lines, 10-9, so we won't get a chance to put it to interim study. Republicans may claim they support religious freedom, but it turns out they don't actually do so when the religious freedom in question is the freedom to build housing.Permalink On twitter.com
