Capitol Update is daily review of state government during the Legislative Session. Today’s topics include:

  • A House committee approves a bill that would require disclosure of the cost of a medical procedure before it’s performed.
  • Committees consider several education bills, including one that would make permanent a program approved last year providing bonuses to teachers who had high college entrance exam scores.
  • State leaders talk about the value of the tourism industry on the same day Tourism Day is celebrated next to the Capitol.
