House Agriculture Committee reports out House Bill 49‑17 with recommendations

The Michigan House Agriculture Committee voted to report House Bill 49‑17 out of committee with recommendations during its session. Representative Leitner moved to report the bill, and the clerk conducted a roll-call vote; the clerk then announced the motion prevailed.

The motion to report House Bill 49‑17 was made by Representative Leitner. During the clerk's roll call several members were recorded as voting yes, two members registered no votes, and at least one member registered a pass; the clerk verbally reported the outcome and informed the chair the motion "prevails." The committee proceeded to hear a presentation from the Michigan Apple Committee and later adjourned after excusing absent members.

Outcome and next steps: the committee reported the bill out with recommendations, as moved by Representative Leitner. The committee record shows the motion passed in committee and the bill will move forward consistent with the House's procedures for reported legislation.
