But today press was not allowed to take notes from the public area of the room. Credentials not needed for this space, it's for the public that comes to speak on bills.

Lobbyists, etc, are on laptops all the time in this space. Regier said no laptops today was specific to press.

SB 442 up in Approps right now ImageImageImage
