The House and Senate will convene at 10 a.m. today.

With no bills ready for debate yet, both chambers will focus on less serious matters.  In the House, it’s class picture day (The Senate will pose on Wednesday).

The House and Senate will each get a visit from representatives from the smokin’ hot Atlanta Hawks, including guard Kyle Korver, center Elton Brand and Coach Mike Budenholzer.

The committee schedule is starting to get busier, although many meetings remain organizational. House Appropriations Subcommittees will be working through the mid-year budget, which could make it to the House floor by Thursday.
