The House and Senate launched their second special session of the year Monday. They have also begun their already scheduled, three-day series of interim study meetings.
Gov. Joe Manchin's special session agenda lists 18 supplemental appropriation proposals. Those address funding for public schools, higher education, social services and roads, among other areas.
Some of these measures are meant to offset spending cuts in the new budget.
Lawmakers met last month to approve the budget bill. They then convened a brief special session at Manchin's request, and rescued 15 bills that had nearly passed in this year's regular session.
