Senate Adjourns Day Early, Saves State Thousands

Senate Majority Floor Leader Todd Lamb applauded his colleagues as they completed the people’s business a day early in the State Senate, saving the state more than $5,000.

“We as the Senate worked tirelessly this week to approve quality legislation and save taxpayer dollars at the same time,” said Lamb. “During a challenging budget year, the Senate recognized the importance of implementing cost-saving measures and adjourning a day early allowed us to do just that.”

This week marked a deadline to have House bills passed off the Senate floor. A total of $5,333.50 was saved in the State Senate by adjourning a day early.
