The Republican Senate caucus is nearly through the conference report, according to Senate Minority Leader Scott Fitzgerald's office. There may yet be follow-up questions for the LFB in their briefing.

Senate Democrats are also moving swiftly, but no estimate was given by Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker's office on how much longer their caucus will take.

Sen. Decker said he didn't know when asked after the conference committee if he had the votes to pass the conference report.
