Senate takes up compromise health benefits bill

The striking amendment is fresh off the copier and now on the floor.

The bill does not go as far as school districts may have wanted, some of the alternatives were far worse. A summary will be provided in the next legislative update.

The amended bill passed 25-20 (with 1 absent and 3 excused). It now moves to the House floor for consideration.
