Summary
Sen. Walikowski told reporters the Senate expects to transmit Senate Bill 64 (elections bill) to the governor in the next few days; timing was coordinated to avoid reconvening the Legislature unnecessarily and to ensure stakeholder discussions finish.
Sen. Walikowski said Senate Bill 64, the elections bill, had not yet been transmitted to the governor but that lawmakers expect to send it within days. He said the timing is deliberate: the Legislature wanted to avoid reconvening unnecessarily and coordinated transmission around the Easter break and the floor schedule for the supplemental.
"My estimation is it'll be, in the next few days," he said, adding that staff and lawmakers are still finalizing details to ensure the bill "gets all the way across the finish line." The senator said conversations with stakeholders are continuing to resolve outstanding issues before transmission.
No final amendments or the exact transmission date were provided during the session.
