An apparent about-face by Republican lawmakers on electioneering disclosures means the Legislature will likely spend at least one more day addressing Gov. Joe Manchin's special session agenda.

The House and Senate began passing most of the 18 other bills from the governor's list Wednesday, mostly with unanimous votes.

They include several supplemental spending measures required before the state's next budget year begins July 1. Lawmakers also revived several items vetoed earlier this year, including one that targeted catalytic converter thefts and another that would allow state funding for greyhound training tracks.

Lawmakers advanced these bills after suspending the rule that would otherwise require them to be read over three days. But GOP members balked at doing that for the electioneering bill.
