House GOP's Likely Legislative Agenda

House Speaker Chris Benge is expected to unveil the House Republican legislative agenda soon and it is likely to include, insiders say, a broad sweep of issues.

Among the agenda items likely to be included: Legislation creating energy independence, building a pro-growth business climate, preparing students for a competitive marketplace, promoting access to affordable healthcare, protecting families, and modernizing and reforming state government.

House Republicans caucused Monday to discuss the items, which Benge declined to discuss publicly.

Republicans gained four more seats in the House last fall, and now have a 61-40 majority.
