House Speaker Shap Smith told representatives Tuesday that the General Assembly is on target for a timely adjournment May 9.
The House will wrap up all committee work by Friday and next week will meet each morning to take up legislation on the floor.
Lawmakers are expected to be in session Monday, May 5, and there will be a token session April 28.
Smith said that a Friday adjournment on May 9 could bleed over to Saturday, May 10. “You may want to reserve a room on May 9,” he said.
Otherwise, Smith quipped that he knows of a house in Morrisville (his own) that could offer inexpensive rooms for rent.
In other business, a vote on the Senate-passed genetically modified organism labeling bill was delayed by one day.
