Time short for death penalty, bully bills

Time short for death penalty, bully bills

Second funnel week. Good things, bad things.

The likely victims include legislation sitting in the House that would reinstate the death penalty for certain crimes, a Senate committee bill requiring school districts to have anti-bullying policies for their students, and a stalled proposal in the Senate to seek voter approval of a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages.

Other casualties are expected to include a proposed interest cap on car title loans, legislation fixing the start of the school year on Aug. 25, and a proposed ban on children younger than 15 from using commercial tanning beds.
