<p class="MsoNormal">Following is a summary of the status of bills we have been tracking with action up through today, the final day of the regular legislative session. For bills passed by the House and Senate this last week of the session and sent to the
Governor, the Governor will have 15 days to take final action on the bills. As you will see further below, two bills were passed this week and sent to the Governor. Three other bills we were tracking either did not pass during the last week or had all language
related to student financial aid removed from the bill.<o:p></o:p></p>
