by Matthew Dooley
The legislative session is approaching its May 20 deadline to adjourn. Conference committees will work to agree on combining matching Senate and House Bills into identical language to forward to the Governor to sign into the law. However, because the legislature is only allowed to meet in full session for 120 total days, only 8 days remain for the House and Senate to meet to pass legislation.
