Clark, Washoe lands bills pass key Senate hurdle. Time to make them law is running short.

The committee votes are the first marker of how senators feel about the bills. The Washoe lands bill passed 10-9, on a party-line vote, while the Clark bill was a more bipartisan endeavor, passing 13-6. Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Steve Daines (R-MT) joined all Democrats to advance the measure.
