LINCOLN - Senators have a lot to do and not much time to do it before the end of the 60-day session arrives likely on Friday, April 10th. Speaker John Arch said time — or the lack thereof — will dictate which bills come to the floor for debate by the full 49-member body in the remaining days of the session.

"Time is not our friend at this point," Arch told senators during a floor announcement on Monday outlining the remainder of the session. Arch, who as speaker sets the daily agenda, said his job is "a delicate balancing act" of ensuring bills that have already started to move get across the finish line while considering other bills that may be able to pass this year.

Arch said if Pillen's office communicates that no vetoes are planned, the Legislature could adjourn before Day 60. That decision will be made next week, he said.

Agenda for the final week:

Monday

Recess Day, Legislature not in session

Tuesday

Select File.
Last day for Governor Pillen to return (by midnight) any budget bill vetoes

Wednesday

Select File (final day for bills to move to Final Reading)
Final Reading

Thursday

Layover day for bills advanced to final reading on Wednesday
Final Reading & Rules Debate

Friday

Possible adjournment Sine Die
