The Latest: Indiana special session to begin May 14

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The Latest on the announcement of a May 14 special session (all times local):

11:45 a.m.

Republican Statehouse leaders and Gov. Eric Holcomb have announced their agenda for what they hope will be a one-day special session on May 14.

House Speaker Brian Bosma and Senate leader David Long said the focus will be a few tax related bills and a measure to boost school safety funding. They have also agreed to revive controversial legislation that would give Ball State University control of Muncie Schools while further diminishing the authority of the Gary school board.

The Legislature's annual session devolved into chaos during the closing hours as bickering Republican lawmakers failed to come to terms on key bills.

The bills died after lawmakers blew past statutory midnight deadline to adjourn on March 14.

Republican leaders are urging rank-and-file lawmakers to donate any extra pay they will receive from the special session. Though they will not require them to donate it.
