Friday Report - May 8, 2026

This version of the House budget includes earmarks or community investments. The House also amended the Sine Die Resolution(opens in a new tab) to allow the General Assembly to reconvene after adjournment to address redistricting the state’s congressional districts.
Meanwhile, the Senate advanced bills that would increase poll worker take-home pay(opens in a new tab) and to streamline the business personal property tax(opens in a new tab) collection process. These and other bills of interest to counties are detailed in the Friday Report(opens in a new tab).
