Senate Review...

Body
It’s crazy to think we’ve made it just about halfway through the legislative session. We’ve passed the deadline to advance bills that originated from our chamber, and we’re now back in committees hearing measures that were approved by the House. We’ll continue committee work until April 8, which is the next legislative deadline we must meet.

Cases of Salmonella infection increase each year around Easter time when stores begin putting baby poultry (chicks and ducklings) on display, or when they’re given as gifts. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates Salmonella bacteria cause about 1.35 million infections, 26,500 hospitalizations, and 420 deaths in the United States every year.
