The House voted 52-14 in favor of HB 682, the Medicaid budget for next year, with no opposing debate; it then adjourned for the day. Both the House Republicans and House Democrats are headed into closed-door caucuses. Meanwhile, the Senate has reconvened. Senate Majority Leader Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls, said the majority has decided not to caucus now after all; he had earlier said the Senate majority caucus would gather to "bring everyone up to speed," on issues including the "going-home list," with the session's three remaining priorities: Savings, tax cuts, and teacher salary-based apportionment; the Senate unanimously passed legislation to cancel future-year teacher pay cuts required under the "Students Come First" reforms enacted last year, but the bill hasn't gotten a hearing in the House Education Committee, where House Education Chairman Bob Nonini has introduced a competing proposal to leave future years' cuts in place, and cancel only next year's.
