The Senate president's goal is to get a bill to the House with at least 30 days left in session.
Chenault and other majority members say they want a "meaningful" tax bill that will help boost investment and reverse the trend of declining oil production. Last year, the House approved a tax-cut bill that stalled in the Senate.
The Senate is writing its own bill.
Chenault says lawmakers can go home without passing a tax bill if faced with something "hollow." He says it's possible they could stay past 90 days if work is being done on a more substantial bill.
