GRA met with senior officials in the governor’s office, House leadership and Senate leadership to push forward on language that would be acceptable to all parts of Capitol leadership. The governor’s office continues to play a key role in facilitating legislation that will be acceptable to all leadership at the Capitol. We expect final legislation to be introduced in a few days.
