Senate out for the time being

The Senate has adjourned until 11 a.m. Friday, but is likely to go back into session tonight to read in the conference report according to Sen. Basnight. Basnight said conferees were still working things out, but that if the report could be finished up and read in things would stay on schedule.

The schedule, as I understand it is:
Conference report is read in tonight, debated Friday and voted on Friday sometime. Both House and Senate will stay up until at least a minute past midnight Saturday for vote number three and then adjourn until Wednesday am. (July Fourth, Tall Ships and all that ya know.)
Subject to change, of course.

One thing I’ve noticed is that some of the special provisions the Senate approved, but the House has taken out have come back through imbedded in other bills. Special provisions in the mental health sections of the budget just came back through the Senate as part of H2077. There may be a number of similar adjustments coming if the House sticks to its no policy provisions rule.
