The House Resources Committee is addressing the new bighorn sheep bill that came over from the Senate, while Ways & Means has three new bills on its agenda: A compromise on election consolidation, in which the state would cover school district costs for all four election dates; a rewrite of the controversial HB 339, the House education funding bill that the House Education Committee passed yesterday, to phase out rather than retroactively eliminate a teacher early retirement incentive program; and a House concurrent resolution calling for an interim committee to work with the governor over the summer on transportation funding.
House Assistant Majority Leader Scott Bedke, R-Oakley, said the resolution was pitched to the governor at the leadership meeting this morning. “He wanted more,” he said. But, he said, “We all could agree that it worked with water.”
