The 2021 long session picked up some steam this week as committees began moving more bills and the first bill, Senate Bill 36: 2020 COVID Relief Bill Modifications, was signed into law. This bill makes changes to previous COVID-19 relief appropriations, as well as adding more funds for rent relief, vaccine efforts, schools and parents. Lawmakers have indicated that another COVID-19 relief bill is in the works and will spend more federal stimulus funds. Leadership has also pledged to work on summer school support for students who have fallen behind during online learning due to the pandemic.
