Arizona Legislature Aiming To Adjourn, But Much Work Remains

Arizona lawmakers are hoping to wrap up the 2016 legislative session, but first they have to complete votes on bills that have been stalled because of work on a state budget.

The Arizona House alone has set Friday votes on more than 130 bills. Senate calendars hadn't been posted late Thursday.

The House acted on only about two dozen bills Thursday and the Senate voted on a similar number.

Both chambers are aiming to adjourn the session Friday, but there's no guarantee that will happen.

Republicans who control both chambers sent Gov. Doug Ducey a $9.6 billion state budget package earlier in the week. The spending plan for the budget year that starts July 1 awaits his expected signature.
