Tuesday floor session for Senate seen as unlikely
Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker's spokeswoman Carrie Lynch said that a floor session for the Senate tomorrow is "pretty unlikely."
The Senate has stood in recess since passing its version of the budget last Wednesday night. On Thursday, Senate President Fred Risser gaveled in a skeletal session and continued the recess until tomorrow.
The recess could be continued tomorrow in a skeletal session.
The budget bill remains in the Senate as it was not messaged to the Assembly upon passage.
Decker and his staff are meeting with staff from the Legislative Fiscal Bureau today to go over some budget numbers this afternoon, Lynch said. She said she assumes a conference committee will be formed to reconcile differences in the Assembly and Senate budget plans.
The Assembly has a floor session scheduled for tomorrow with a calendar of bills unrelated to the budget.
UPDATE: 2:45 p.m. -- Lynch now says there could be a session tomorrow to name members of a conference committee, but there will not be a full session calendar tomorrow. A conference committee resolution can not be passed in a skeletal session.
