Days remaining in the session: 22
Religion will be a major theme in and around the Capitol again today.
Lawmakers will be considering bills on the topic, including House Bill 870. That bill prohibits public schools from participating in athletic associations (Can you say GHSA?) that prohibit athletes from literally wearing their faith on their sleeve, headband or other apparel. A similar Senate bill is up in committee.
A big religious rally is planned outside the Capitol with the Rev. Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham. The father of presidential hopeful Ted Cruz will be there.
The only other major business of the day will occur in the Senate, where members will pass without opposition an amended budget for 2016. Both chambers are in at 10 a.m.
