Bill held ‘til when?

After putting it off repeatedly from one day to the next, the House today decided to delay taking up one of the bills on its 3rd Reading calendar - SB 1152, a bill changing some legal details regarding worker's compensation that's sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls - until Friday, April 24th. That's right - a week from tomorrow. "It brought a little reaction," chuckled House Majority Caucus Chairman Ken Roberts, R-Donnelly. Roberts said he figures that's about when the legislative session will end, but if it ends sooner, the House can always move the bill back up and take it up sooner. "It's just one of those end-of-session leverage bills," he said.
