A legislative session that began with all of the hope of spring training has now arrived at crunch time, as bills that appeared to have early momentum may fall victim to the tight schedule of the last two weeks.
Tuesday was the last day for regularly scheduled committee meetings, but legislators can still get bills through the Senate Rules Committee, which is allowed to meet after the deadline. The Senate Budget Committee will also meet Thursday, but the slate of bills to be taken up during the meeting was not available Tuesday evening.
