The General Assembly finished February with a flurry of activity in both chambers. The Senate amended the income tax reduction bill, and sent the abandoned building tax credit bill to the House after lengthy debate on an amendment involving data centers (see below in State House Sound Bites). Meanwhile, the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee amended the hemp bill and gave it a favorable report.
The House spent hours on Wednesday debating a bill that would, among other things, allow for the display of the Ten Commandments and other historical documents in public school and postsecondary classrooms. The House Judiciary Committee also advanced several bills to the floor related to juvenile justice reform.
These and other bills of interest are detailed in the full Friday Report.
