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

  • The full House spent hours debating a bill that requires parental consent before a minor can get an abortion.
  • The House approved a bill that would place proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot that would impose term limits on local school board members.
  • The Senate Appropriations Committee approved a long, complex water quality bill, despite objections that it doesn’t do enough to stop polluters.
