LEGISLATIVE WORKING GROUP AMENDS LIABILITY PROPOSAL AHEAD OF SPECIAL SESSION
The joint House/Senate Judiciary and Rules Working group met remotely for more than four hours Friday. It was perhaps the last big hearing before Gov. Brad Little convenes the Legislature the week of Aug. 24 for what is officially called an extraordinary session.
Friday’s working group meeting featured 27 of the 105 legislators and, perhaps, offered a preview of the coming special session.
