SENATE ADJOURNS DAY EARLY, SAVES STATE THOUSANDS
Floor Leader worked to finish deadline ahead of schedule

Senate Majority Floor Leader Todd Lamb applauded his colleagues as they completed the people’s business a day early in the State Senate, saving the state more than $5,000.

“We as the Senate worked tirelessly this week to approve quality legislation and save taxpayer dollars at the same time,” said Lamb. “During a challenging budget year, the Senate recognized the importance of implementing cost-saving measures and adjourning a day early allowed us to do just that.”

This week marked a deadline to have House bills passed off the Senate floor. A total of $5,333.50 was saved in the State Senate by adjourning a day early.
