It’s the last day of the Legislature, when lawmakers almost always stay in session until midnight — the latest allowed by law — to pass every possible bill up to the last second. But the House does not plan to convene until a leisurely 10 a.m.

House members feel like more of their bills are pending over in the Senate than senators have bills pending in the House.
