Senate Returns Today To Finish Session

The State Senate returns today to finish the legislative session after a hang-up on a contentious issue last week when adjournment was scheduled.

Business in the Senate stalled last week after Democrats voted against a bill that would put one person in charge of the state's computer systems and Republican leaders held the vote open. Democrats then walked out. Republicans are three votes shy of passing the measure.

The bill, Senate Bill 980, would create a chief information officer.
