Capitol Update – Nightly During Session – Monday, April 19, 2021
Capitol Update is daily review of state government during the Legislative Session. Today’s topics include:
- The Governor signs one of his priorities into law – legislation to maintain law and order during protests, which critics say is unconstitutional and racially motivated.
- During a daylong meeting, Senators passed legislation to impose new regulations on social media to curb what some see as censorship.
- The House approved a change to an elections bill that could give the Governor a bigger role when it comes to local vacancies.
