Two House hearing rooms just got a makeover for the forthcoming special session.
The Capitol’s House and Senate chambers, which would typically hold the special session, are off limits due to the major restoration work going on throughout the building. So the committee rooms have been converted into House and Senate chambers to hold a special session in as normal a setting as possible, despite the more confined space.
Special attention was given to how the House’s converted committee room functions and looks. Find out what actual fixtures of the House Chamber have found a temporary home in the State Office Building.
