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

  • Two major bills appear to be resolved between the House and Senate:  Assignment of Benefits reform and cancer benefits for firefighters.
  • Other proposals expected to be considered this week include clarification of the voting rights restoration amendment approved by voters and a crackdown on texting while driving.
  • A look at the Legislature’s young pages and messengers – young volunteers who run errands for lawmakers and learn about state government in the process.
