House bill identified as "House Bill 285" referred to Labor and Commerce committee

An unidentified meeting staff member moved to refer a bill identified in the record as "House Bill 285" to the Labor and Commerce Committee; the motion was seconded and the presiding officer announced the bill would be referred. The meeting then was adjourned.

The referral is a procedural step that sends the bill to the committee for further consideration, including hearings, amendments, or a committee vote. The transcript records a voice call for support — "favor please say I" — but does not include a roll-call tally or the names of the motion mover and seconder.

The record contains brief, unclear phrasing around the bill number (the transcript also includes a sequence that reads like "255 0"). The meeting did not provide additional details about the bill's sponsor, the bill text, or next scheduled actions by the committee. No amendments or conditions were recorded on the motion. The meeting adjourned shortly after the referral was announced.

Because the transcript provides only this brief exchange, further information about the bill (sponsor, full bill number, text, and committee schedule) would need to be obtained from the House clerk's office or the legislature's public docket to track next steps.
