Number of working days left until the end of the 2015 session: Four.
After a busy day, lawmakers appear to be taking a breather. The Senate has a dozen bills on the calendar, including HB 225, the Uber bill; and HB 397, which revises the state Soil and Conservation Commission to the concern of farmers and environmentalists.
The House has several bills on the floor, the most interesting of which is SB 101, the marsh buffer bill. The bill has been the subject of much wrangling by environmentalists and development interests.
Most committee agendas hadn't been published by late Wednesday, but it's possible full House Judiciary Committee will meet today and take up SB 129 the religious liberty bill.
