Senate won’t do public lands transfer bills today…
The Senate will not take up the two federal lands transfer measures today, HCR 21 and 22. Instead, it will suspend rules to consider three bills now on its 2nd Reading Calendar: SB 1192a, exempting the state parking garage project from local Boise city planning and zoning design review rules; SB 1040a, an amended education bill letting school districts lower teachers’ salaries or cut contract days from one year to the next; and HB 65, the “fix-it” bill that restores $30 million to the current year’s public school budget that otherwise would have shifted as a result of voters’ rejection of Propositions 1, 2 and 3 in November.
