House receives committee reports, prints bills and assigns measures on grid resiliency, farm energy reporting and mass-shooting response

The State House received multiple committee reports, approved printing of several bills and assigned newly introduced measures to standing committees during a floor session.

Committee reports moved several bills forward. The Committee on Health and Human Services recommended that House Bill 1159 be amended and, as amended, referred to the Committee on Appropriations; the committee also recommended that Senate Bill 10 be referred to the Committee of the Whole with a favorable recommendation. The Committee on Judiciary recommended that House Bill 1028 be amended and, as amended, referred to the Committee on Finance with a favorable recommendation. The Committee on Transportation, Housing and Local Government recommended that House Bill 1044 be postponed indefinitely and that House Bill 1093 be amended and, as amended, referred to the Committee of the Whole with a recommendation.

The chief clerk announced that several House bills had been correctly printed as read into the record; the transcript lists the printed bills as House bills 1234, 12305 and 12306 (details not specified in the transcript).

Lawmakers introduced three measures and assigned them to relevant committees. House Bill 1260, introduced by Representative de Grama, concerns "the resiliency of the systems that provide electricity in relations to geomagnetic storms" and was assigned to the Committee on Energy and Environment. Senate Bill 39, sponsored in the Senate by Senators Bridges and Pelton B and in the House by Representatives Martinez and Johnson, concerns exemptions for energy-use reporting requirements for owners of agricultural buildings; it was assigned to the Committee on Agriculture, Water, and Natural Resources. Senate Bill 59, sponsored by Senator Sullivan and Representative Woodrow, concerns measures to support the state's response to mass shootings and to support services for victims; it was assigned to the Committee on State, Civic, Military and Veterans Affairs.

The floor also included a personnel announcement: Representative R. Stewart will substitute for the representative leader on Business Affairs and Labor for the day. The House recessed during the session and later a motion was made to adjourn until Friday, Feb. 14, at 9 a.m.; the transcript records the motion but does not include a recorded roll-call vote on the motion.
