Although the General Assembly has returned from the July 4th break, it was a very quiet week at the legislature. Only two committee meetings and one voting session were held, both in the House. This slow pace is likely to continue for the next few weeks as all anxiously await an agreement on the budget. Originally thought to be passed by July 1, the budget is now expected to pass sometime in August.
Two DPS agency bills were sent to the Governor and are now law. Senate Bill 171, Department of Public Safety Agency Bill.-AB has provisions requested by the State Capitol Police, Highway Patrol, National Guard, and Samarcand. House Bill 814, Emergency Management Mods., was requested by Emergency Management.
