Summary
Legislative leaders finished designating priority bills; Speaker Arch will announce speaker-designated priority bills Monday. Bills were advanced this week that would let counties vacate roads without a traffic study and increase visitor-improvement fund grant maximums.
Senators and committees finished designating priority bills this week, the report said. Speaker Arch is scheduled to announce his selections of speaker priority bills on Monday, and the report says debate on priority bills and the budget will dominate the second half of the session.
The report listed examples of priority measures under consideration, including proposals to constitutionally limit property taxes, clarify homestead exemptions for disabled veterans, and revise election procedures. The report also said many priority bills remain in committee.
Separately, the report said bills advanced from the first and second rounds of debate would allow counties to vacate roads without conducting a traffic study and would increase the maximum allowable amounts for visitor improvement fund grants. The report did not include roll-call votes or bill numbers for these specific changes.
