The House and Senate are scheduled to convene at 11:00 AM this morning to begin the Third Extraordinary Session of the 93rd General Assembly.

Though Governor Asa Hutchinson has yet to issue a formal call, he said last Friday that he intends for the Third Extraordinary Session of the 93rd General Assembly to begin on Tuesday, August 9.

At the July meeting of the Arkansas Legislative Council, Republican lawmakers led a controversial effort to expunge a month-old vote that released half a billion in federal dollars to school districts across Arkansas.

Governor Asa Hutchinson today said he intends to call lawmakers into special session the week of August 8.
