The House has finished up for the day, after passing four budget bills, including those for the PUC, the Office of the State Board of Education, and the Office of Energy Resources. All were Senate bills. The House also passed SB 1183, on wrecker plates, on a 63-2 vote, and sent the ethanol bill, HB 329, back to the Ways & Means Committee because a new version of the bill was introduced there earlier today. House Majority Leader Mike Moyle, R-Star, told House members "We appreciate your patience today, guys. It's that time of year." There'll probably be "a few of these days" when things keep changing throughout the day, he said. With that, the House adjourned for the day.
