A Penny for My Thoughts 4/19/2012
On Thursday, March 29th, the 2012 legislative session came to an end when the House and Senate completed the 40th and final legislative day. Leading up to the last day, we had already addressed most of the major issues for this year: the state budget, tax reform, and legislation to promote charter schools had all previously received final approval from the House and Senate. While passing important legislation early in the session was a major accomplishment, there were still a few issues to address as of Thursday morning. We still needed to give final passage to criminal justice reform and establish a tax court to help efficiently resolve disputes with the Department of Revenue. Those issues and more awaited our attention, which is why we worked from 9:30 AM until a little after midnight, before finally gaveling the 2012 legislative session to an end.
