The Special legislative session at the Capitol will head into a fourth day on Friday.
House Republicans blocked the Legislature from voting on two bills on Thursday that will send the legislature into an additional day.
They plan on working on a bill that would put a cap on how much the gas tax can go up or down when fuel prices rise and fall.
Also, they plan to encourage the use of energy sources other than coal by state utilities.
Each day the Legislature is in session costs more than 30 thousand dollars.
