The House has now voted 41-28 in favor of sending SB 1369, the unemployment fraud bill, to general orders for amendment. Rep. Stephen Hartgen, R-Twin Falls, said, "Let's make an attempt to see if we can get this right in the closing days of the session." At this point, the House has run all the way through the noon hour and beyond, and is now preparing to adjourn for the day.

Among the announcements: The House State Affairs Committee will not meet on Friday - that's the panel that canceled a hearing today on the pre-abortion ultrasound bill. Also, House Democrats are headed into a closed-door caucus.
