July 19-

As is usually the case, the last few days of the session were long and hectic.  Lots of convening, recessing, re-convening, and quick committee meetings and conferee meetings.  They finally adjourned Saturday July 10 at 5:30 A. M.

There were no major changes in items directly affecting your interests.  Most of their time was taken up with negotiating a DNA requirement bill, eliminating video sweepstakes, and a new ethics bill.

Highlight:
Special provision in the budget... Driver Ed.
