Capitol Update – Nightly During Session – Monday, May 01, 2017
Capitol Update is daily review of state government during the Legislative Session. Today’s topics include:
- After a weekend of budget conferences, the budget is now in the hands of the House Speaker and Senate President to hammer out an agreement.
- The full Senate approved a modified version of a priority for House Speaker Richard Corcoran: a bill that would create a Constitutional Amendment for voters to decide on a homestead exemption increase.
- The Senate also approved a scaled-back version of the tax cut package approved by the House.
