House committee reviews 'bills in and out' list, flags agricultural collective bargaining and tenant omnibus as heavy lifts
Summary
Members of the House General and Housing Committee reviewed the committee’s "bills in and out" list Feb. 28, 2025, flagging proposals on agricultural collective bargaining, noncompete restrictions, agricultural wage/overtime coverage, a tenant-rights omnibus and Human Rights Commission staffing as significant items requiring additional work.
Members of the House General and Housing Committee reviewed the committee’s "bills in and out" list Feb. 28, 2025, and flagged several proposals as substantial or time-consuming, including bills on collective bargaining for agricultural workers, noncompete limits, agricultural-worker wage and overtime coverage, a tenant-rights omnibus and Human Rights Commission staffing needs.
Why it matters: Several proposals would change labor or housing policy statewide, while others would require significant stakeholder negotiation or overlap with bills in other committees. Committee members described some measures as a "heavy lift" that will need more time, stakeholder work and, in several cases, coordination with other committees.
