The Capitol Report 5/10/19: Budget Conference Committee Convenes

The Capitol Report - May 10, 2019
Greetings from Juneau. Today is the 116th legislative day. Lawmakers have five days to conclude their business without extending the session. If legislators do not conclude their work by next Wednesday, they can choose to extend the session by 10 days through a 2/3 affirmative vote in each body. The Governor also has the option of calling a special session on a narrower set of topics for the Legislature to consider.
