State Legislature
It appears that the Legislature is not returning next week due to multiple legislators testing
positive for COVID-19, along with around a dozen staff. This will further compress the hearing
schedule and may ultimately result in hearings on weekends, and even tighter time frames to
conclude the legislative session.
