On Tuesday, June 2, the Rhode Island Senate Judiciary Committee positively reported S 2491, the upper chamber's companion bill intended to shift the presidential primary in the Ocean state from the end of April to Super Tuesday in early March. The measure was advanced without debate and only one dissent in the committee's voice vote.
--
Noteworthy: As the Senate version of the Super Tuesday bill had previously had a hearing in Judiciary, the panel opted to take it up in executive session rather than start the process anew with the identical House-passed version in the waning days of the legislative session in Providence. S 2491 is on the calendar for consideration by the full Senate on Thursday, June 4.--
