On this episode of The Legislature Today, we sit down with House Speaker Roger Hanshaw, R-Clay, to discuss how he sees things are going this legislative session.
Also, in this show, at the beginning of the week, the House of Delegates urgently moved House Bill 4574 and House Bill 4575 through the approval process, suspending constitutional rules to make it happen in one day.
