So what now? It's unclear if Carlino will be reinstated into the caucus following this apology. She said she intends to "move forward as a member of the Democratic Caucus." Neither Osili nor Democratic Majority Leader Maggie Lewis have responded to a request for comment.

The fallout: Carlino is stepping down as chair of the Investigation Committee, chair of Parks & Recreation Committee, and co-chair of the Public Safety & Criminal TJustice Committee.
