LANSING — After two quiet weeks in Lansing, things will pick up again this Tuesday when the state House returns from its spring vacation.

And the Senate will be back next week after starting its own two-week break a week after the House. No agenda for the House sessions has been promulgated, but most of the legislative work will be done in committee. Budgets will be a major focus this week, and most of those bills will be Senate-originated bills. The lone House-originated budget bill still left to approve, the Department of Human Service budget, may also be taken up this week.

Among the bills that will be taken up by committees are House Bills 5782-83 that require contractors working on state building projects to hire Michigan workers and the prevailing wage law that will be considered by the Labor Committee. The House Judiciary Committee will take up a package of bills that allows victims of crime to take time off work to attend court proceedings.
