The heavy blanket of ice and snow depositing itself across the state has caused legislative leaders to cancel meetings until at least Wednesday.

State government was already closed Monday due to Presidents’ Day, but Senate Speaker Randy McNally announced the Cordell Hull Building would also be closed on Tuesday.

Due to severe weather, the Cordell Hull Office building will be closed Tuesday, February 16. All @tnsenate committee meetings that day are cancelled. Staff should not plan to report to work. We will continue to monitor the situation and update accordingly regarding rest of week.
