A Senate committee heard testimony and debated two bills: SB187 (regional sewer district oversight and indebtedness limits) and SB277 (a comprehensive overhaul of Title 13 governing IDEM). Lawmakers amended and recommitted SB187 to tax and fiscal (passed 6–2) and moved SB277 to appropriations (passed 5–3) after extensive stakeholder testimony and questions about statutory language, oversight, and public protections.
