To avoid a calamitous rise in insurance rates for public school employees (PSEs) at the end of 2014, the legislature will need to convene in special session this summer. Gov. Beebe won’t call a session until legislative leaders are confident that the votes are present to pass whatever fix is proposed. Today, the task force created to study the PSE insurance problem met jointly with the full Ed committee to review draft legislation proposed by Sen. Jim Hendren (R), the task force chair.
