Friday Report - March 28, 2025

The Senate worked until 10 p.m. Wednesday to reach a compromise on the tort reform bill, S. 244. After the compromise amendment was presented and explained to members, the Senate adopted it and gave the bill a second reading. Before adjourning for the week, the Senate moved H. 3309, the comprehensive energy reform bill, to special order status Thursday, ensuring its debate soon.  

The House debated H. 3927, a bill relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices at state agencies and political subdivisions including local governments. After several procedural motions, the House adjourned debate on H. 3927 until next week. Several committees in the House and Senate met to take up bills of interest to counties.

These and other bills of interest are detailed in the Friday Report.
