Back in January. State Senator Michael Gibbons set out three major goals for the 2008 session.

Those were, reform the property tax system, address illegal immigration and increase health care availability.

Here's a look how they've done:

- Property taxes.

The senate has approved a bill that makes four major changes to the way property taxes are assessed.

- Immigration.

Just yesterday, the house passed a measure that prevents colleges and universities from enrolling illegal immigrants.

- Health care.

So far, neither chamber has been able to pass legislation.

But, Republicans and Democrats agree it is at the top of the agenda for the second half.

And while a communications director for the Republicans didn't want to speak for the party on camera, her Democratic counterpart says his party has been pretty happy with the tenor of the session so far.

"The first half of the session, we've been pleased with the civility in the senate," Jordan Yount, Senate minority caucus communications, said. "Members have been able to work together and move quite a bit of legislation. It's been fairly routine. There haven't been any big, controversial items that have gone through."

The major item coming up for lawmakers is passing this year's budget. They can be expected to take up work on that as soon as they are back in session.
