Attached are PDF electronic files of the water special session bills that will be up on the Senate Floor tomorrow. They are being sent in the interests of keeping all parties up to speed on any changes. Since the Senate has not convened this weekend, these are PROPOSED amendments to bills but have not officially been adopted by the Senate until such time as a quorum is established and gavel goes down on Senate Session. There will be hard copies of these bills in pre-print form for any party to pick up and review in Room 211 of the State Capitol from 12-3pm today.
