In and out
Each bill that has survived until this point in the legislative session has been assigned its own set of conferees, or legislators from both the House and Senate. Conferees have been meeting throughout this week on each separate bill and have been in and out of the various meeting rooms at the Capitol to sit in on each bill that they were assigned to.
The legislation must pass a separate vote by both the House and Senate to survive this final round of hearings.
Even though public testimony is limited at this stage, often there is only standing room at the conference committee hearings.
