The Senate has now adjourned for the day, but it'll be back tomorrow at 10 a.m. and also will hold an afternoon session. Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls, noted that more than 40 pieces of legislation are pending on the Senate's calendar, so senators can expect more afternoon floor sessions this week.

Before the Senate adjourned, among those making introductions was Assistant Majority Leader Chuck Winder, R-Meridian, who welcomed back Sen. Shirley McKague, R-Meridian, and welcomed Patrick Malloy, who has filled in for McKague in her absence, who was in the gallery. Winder added of McKague that he wanted to "thank her for her graciousness to me for not running." The two are in the same new legislative district; McKague decided not to seek another term and instead endorsed Winder. He also thanked Malloy for deciding to run for a House seat in that district, rather than a Senate seat.
