The Senate began the 74th day of the session on Thursday with an appeal from Majority Leader Sen. Bart Davis (R-Idaho Falls) that they work diligently all day and adjourn sine die by the end of the day.
Senators completed a bevy of legislative action in the race to clear their calendars and go home, including floor debate, a committee meeting, and a majority caucus meeting.
In the House, lawmakers needed to plow their way through over three dozen bills before they would be able to adjourn for the final time.
