Today is the last day of Regular Session. If the budget and Budget Implementation Bills (BIMP) are not passed by both chambers by midnight tonight, the General Assembly will go into an Overtime Session.
If there were a balance of political parties in the legislature, overtime would have greater ramifications because a "super majority" would be needed to pass legislation. With Democrat super majority control of both chambers that provision has little impact with the exception that legislators will not receive their per diems.
Stay tuned in here today for all the highlights from session as we cover it live. Session is scheduled to convene at 9:30 a.m.
