House receives Senate bills on wage law and public health; discharge notices filed
Summary
The Michigan House received Senate Bill 8 to amend the Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act and Senate Bill 60 to amend the Public Health Code; both were referred to committees. Representative Bill Schuette and the majority floor leader filed notices to move to discharge committees on the next legislative day.
The Michigan House of Representatives received Senate Bill 8, a proposal to amend the Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act, and referred it for first consideration and to the select committee on protecting Michigan employees and small businesses. The House also received Senate Bill 60, a bill to amend the Public Health Code, and referred it to the House Committee on Health Policy.
The actions were announced by the clerk during the House session. The clerk read the Senate messages transmitting the bills to the House for consideration.
Representative Bill Schuette gave notice under House Rule 41 that on the next legislative day he will move to discharge the select committee on protecting Michigan employees and small business of Senate Bill 8. The clerk read a separate notice, attributed in the transcript to the majority floor leader, that on the next legislative day he will move to discharge the committee on government operations for further consideration of Senate Concurrent Resolution 2 and Senate Concurrent Resolution 3. Both concurrent resolutions were transmitted to the House and referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
The notices are procedural: they announce a planned floor motion to bring items out of committee on a future legislative day. No floor motion to discharge the committees was taken during the session recorded in the transcript.
The clerk also announced that Senate bills transmitted earlier were received on Friday, Feb. 14, and that the received measures were to be considered at first reading and referred to the committees noted above.
The House adjourned later in the day for lack of a quorum; the notices to discharge remain scheduled to be acted on the next legislative day if floor motions are made.
