Legislators returned to Olympia today, Tuesday, after a three-day weekend for a special session that will focus on resolving differences in the House and Senate versions of the operating and the capital budgets, and to pass policy bills to support budget spending changes.
The House met in caucus most of Tuesday, and has made the decision not to return until Friday for a “pro forma” session, which is a fancy way of saying not everyone has to be present. They will return again Monday for caucus and to possibly act on some bills.
The Senate plans to work through the week, taking to the floor today to pass five bills, including two of interest to education advocates. The Senate will meet again Wednesday on the floor at 10 a.m.
