Connecticut lawmakers are back on the job.
The House of Representatives is scheduled to meet at 3 p.m. today and begin voting on several bills that spell out details of the two-year, $37.6 billion budget the General Assembly approved Sept. 1 after a months-long impasse with Gov. M. Jodi Rell.
Lawmakers also need to vote on state bonding legislation and a plan to reduce the number of probate courts from 117 to 50.
The Senate is scheduled to vote on the bills Thursday. The House may meet Thursday, if necessary.
