NOVEMBER 2008 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE (posted 11/3/2008 @ 5pm)

The Assembly and Senate have been distracted by the recent financial problems, but they are now moving ahead with regular business.

The full Assembly is set to debate Bill A823 during the month of November, and Bill S2055 should be heard in the Senate Transportation committee in November as well. The key is getting the legislation through both houses before the legislative session ends at the end of December.
