The Montana House of Representatives received a committee report from the Appropriations Committee recommending that House Bill 1 "do pass." Representative Lou Jones, chair of the House Appropriations Committee, delivered the report on the floor.

The committee report was read into the record as: "Recommend that House Bill 1 do pass. Signed Representative Lou Jones chair." The text of House Bill 1 and details of the committee's findings or amendments were not specified during the floor announcement.

The recommendation is a committee action and does not itself enact the bill; the transcript records only the report to the House, not any subsequent floor action on House Bill 1.

The clerk recorded the committee's report and moved it into the day's business. The session then proceeded to other agenda items and committee announcements.
