Short session may be over but the General Assembly will once again be hopping with policy discussions as interim committees begin to meet. This week will see two different transportation committees be seated to discuss what is the best way to deal with transit in our growing state. One will look specifically at comprehensive rail options. The other will be a continuation of the 21st Century Transportation Committee.
Today we will also see the start up of the Child Fatality Task force for this interim break.
Next week the first Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, Substance Abuse Joint Legislative Oversight Committee will meet. (See additional post for agenda.)
