The Senate postponed a plan to adopt Gov. Dannel P.

The House now will make the first attempt at passing the bill.

Malloy’s major criminal justice initiative, An Act Concerning a Second Chance Society, raising questions about whether it had sufficient Democratic votes to pass before the session ends at midnight Wednesday. Other bills were being held as leverage in budget talks.
