House reads dozens of measures for first time; bills passed to speaker’s desk for referral
Summary
The House read a long list of bills and concurrent resolutions for the first time and sent those measures to the speaker's desk for referral; the transcript lists many bill numbers and short subject descriptions but records no floor debate on the measures.
The House read dozens of bills and joint measures for the first time and passed them to the speaker's desk for referral.
The list included House concurrent resolutions in memorial and recognition (for example, HCR 9–12) and numerous House bills covering a range of topics, including water, natural resources, education, public safety, health care, elections, and taxation. The reading clerk recited bill numbers and brief subjects — for example, "House Bill 3338 relating to gender from a treatment to clear an emergency," "House Bill 3341 relating to water declaring emergency," and many others listed in sequence.
Nut Graf: The reading of bills for the first time is a routine procedural step that places measures on the House calendar and forwards them to the speaker's desk for committee referral. The transcript records the bill numbers and short descriptions but does not include floor debate or votes on those measures in the excerpt.
The transcript also recorded a message from the president indicating he had signed HCR 14 and HCR 15. The readings concluded with the calendar moving on to second and third readings and other business.
Ending: The transcript lists many measures read for the first time; the excerpt does not record additional legislative action (committee referrals, debates, or votes) on those measures within the provided text.
