Breaking: Senate to hear budget "trailer" bill

Will the State's revenue collections continuing to plummet, the lege needs to run a "trailer" bill to fix the budget fix to keep the current year's budget in balance.

On Thursday, SB1184 will be amended via a striker to serve as that trailer (text of the striker not available on the lege's website as of this writing).

At 9:30 a.m., Senate Appropriations will hear (and probably amend) the bill, while Senate Rules will hear (and probably pass) the amended bill immediately upon adjournment of Approps.
