State revenues ravaged by the pandemic. Civil unrest that spiked this past year. The ongoing rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine. Lawmakers will tackle those issues and more as they begin five weeks of committee meetings on Monday, a lead-up to the 2021 legislative session that opens March 2. Traditionally, the first week of meetings is an opportunity for newly elected members to receive instructions on procedures and decorum, and for returning members to get up to speed on their new committee assignments. But tradition has been upended by the coronavirus pandemic. The Capitol is still closed to the public, and there will be limited seating because of social distancing requirements.
