House Agriculture Committee: quick roundup of votes and procedural actions
Summary
The committee considered several bills and resolutions in a session that included a failed motion to reconsider, multiple amendments, and committee recommendations on bills and a concurrent resolution.
The House Agriculture Committee handled several procedural and substantive items, voting on amendments, reconsideration motions and study recommendations during the meeting.
Key votes and outcomes
- House Bill 1538 (motion to reconsider): The committee made a motion to reconsider House Bill 1538 that failed at the time (clerk recorded the motion as failing 6-71); later in the day legislative counsel confirmed that because the motion to reconsider failed the committee need take no further action and the bill will return to the floor as originally acted on.
- House Bill 1531 (irrigation study): The committee voted a due-pass recommendation for House Bill 1531, recorded as 13-01. Representative Freiberg moved the due-pass recommendation and the clerk recorded the roll.
- House Concurrent Resolution 3018 (reconsideration and consent calendar): The committee reconsidered House Concurrent Resolution 3018 after seeking legislative counsel guidance about language that could not be changed on a resolution. The motion to reconsider and the subsequent due-pass recommendation were recorded; the clerk’s roll call recorded the resolution as passed (recorded by the clerk as 14 yes). Committee members agreed there was interest in seeking study consideration by Legislative Management.
- Consent calendar and carriers: The committee discussed consent-calendar placement for certain items, objected items were pulled from consent, and members named carriers for bills that will go to the floor; Representative Olsen and Representative White served as carriers on different items as recorded by the committee.
Procedural note on timing: the committee recessed to await clerks and legislative-counsel determinations and then reconvened to confirm final actions and to send items to the floor or to recommend do-not-pass where recorded.
