Utah lawmakers are likely to be back in the State Capitol next month for a special session for some budgetary housecleaning and to pass a compromise version of a bill that Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. vetoed last month.

"It is likely that a special session will be called to address those issues," said Huntsman's spokeswoman, Lisa Roskelley. "We're just looking at specifics at what would need to be addressed in a special session in addition to the budget issues [legislative leaders] raised."

House Majority Leader Kevin Garn, R-Layton, said the leaders asked Huntsman earlier this month to convene the special session next month. The quick cleanup session would be held during the lunch hour of the scheduled May 20 interim committee meetings.

It is unlikely, based on recent revenue figures, that lawmakers would have to cut any more from the state budget than the $1 billion they did during the legislative session that concluded in March, said Senate Majority Leader Sheldon Killpack, R-Syracuse.

The primary issue that legislators want to fix is an oversight in an education budget bill. Lawmakers passed the legislation that was meant to infuse $91 million worth of federal stimulus money into public schools to cover a projected shortfall.

But for the bill to take effect immediately, as was planned, the bill needed support from two-thirds of the Legislature and it fell short .

That means the money wouldn't be available until the start of the next budget year -- starting July 1.

Garn said legislators have also worked out a resolution to Huntsman's concerns about a vetoed bill. Rep. Curt Webb's bill would have allowed a landowner in a rural county to divide one parcel per 100 acres for building development without regard to county ordinances. Huntsman said it would fragment rural land and could create problems for access, sewer, waste water, roads and utility service.

There are also a handful of minor budget items to be addressed, including a drafting error that reversed the transfer of money between the Education Fund and the Uniform School Fund that forced Huntsman to issue a line-item veto for a portion of the bill.

In addition to fixing a handful of technical budget glitches, Roskelley said the governor's staff is also looking at whether to act to accept federal stimulus money that would expand unemployment benefits for Utah workers.

"That's something that's being looked at," she said.

Lawmakers balked at taking more than $61 million in stimulus money during the regular legislative session earlier this year because they would have to extend benefits to about 4,200 jobless Utahns -- part-time workers who lose their jobs or full-time workers who leave a job to accompany a spouse changing employment. They don't qualify for unemployment benefits now.

Legislative leaders are still cool to the idea.

"I've had no conversations with anyone that would lead me to believe that that is one of our top priorities," said Killpack.
