(AP) — Indiana lawmakers entered the final day of the annual legislative session with a substantial amount of work left to do and a midnight deadline to get it done by.
The Indiana House worked into the evening hours Tuesday to vote on proposals. But the Senate abruptly adjourned Tuesday afternoon, leaving the remainder of its work for Wednesday.
That raises the possibility that many bills could get killed as lawmakers run out of time.
Negotiations have been ongoing on proposals for eliminating handgun licensing fees. And lawmakers must still vote on making changes to the leadership of the state’s workforce development programs.
Other issues still in play include legislation allowing Ball State University to take over Muncie schools, a measure giving parents more control over sex education and a stopgap school funding bill.
