Lawmakers will return for a second week of the special session after the state Senate met briefly as a full body today and then adjourned until Monday at 4 p.m. CDT, according to the Nashville Post. The House was scheduled to meet today at 3 p.m. CDT but was delayed by extended committee meetings. The leaders of the two chambers are seeking to reach a compromise on how many bills will be considered during the special session. The Senate yesterday passed four bills and closed its committees. House committees remain open. Yesterday, a bill that would have allowed more people to carry guns on school grounds failed on a tie vote in the House Education Administration Committee. Earlier in the day HB7064 had passed the House Civil Justice Committee. Local Memphis reports on that proposal.
