NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee lawmakers are looking to get back to work Wednesday after winter weather canceled meetings earlier in the week.

State government and the legislative office complex were shuttered Tuesday amid a snow and ice storm around the state.

The House also decided to forgo a planned floor session and committee meetings on Wednesday morning before returning to the regular schedule in the afternoon. The Senate plans a full day of work Wednesday.

The return to regular business is eagerly awaited by some lawmakers as they want to get their proposed legislation heard in committees and on the floor.

After holding an organizational meeting and inaugurating the governor in mid-January, lawmakers first took a two-week break before spending three days defeating Gov. Bill Haslam's Medicaid proposal.
