Thank you to all who attended our session on judicial restructuring at the Mid Year Meeting on Friday. I want to especially thank Rep. Tom Koch and Court Administrator Bob Greemore for their participation in the presentation. Tomorrow the House will take up the bill for “second reading”. Under our rules, a bill must pass each chamber twice; the questions presented are: on second reading, “shall the bill be read a third time?” Then, on Wednesday the bill returns with the question “shall the bill pass?” If successful it goes to the Senate where the Senate Judiciary Committee has already scheduled two mornings of hearings. Remember that Senate committees only meet for a half day since each senator sits on two committees. Here is the committee’s schedule:
