As the wait continues for Massachusetts House leaders to produce an economic development bill and legislation targeting gun violence, the Senate on Tuesday plans to pass a bill addressing opiate addiction.

On Wednesday the House will roll out a reworked version of the $36.3 billion dollar fiscal 2015 budget. It’s the final state budget for outgoing Senate President Therese Murray, who was elected in 1992 when annual state spending totaled about $15 billion.

Meanwhile, House leaders keep saying legislation to address gun violence is a priority, but they’ve been slow to unveil a proposal after delegating research on the issue for months to a working group of outsiders.

All told, six major bills – welfare reform, drug compounding industry regulation, election reforms, natural gas leaks, domestic violence, and mercury product recycling – are before conference committees, after having cleared the branches in differing forms.
