Committee concurs on bill to eliminate state organic advisory council
Summary
The committee agreed to do‑concur on House Bill 269, which would eliminate the Organic Commodity Advisory Council and revise the state organic certification program; members said the bill appeared clean and advanced by voice vote.
The Senate Agriculture committee moved to concur with House Bill 269, a measure to dissolve the Organic Commodity Advisory Council and revise Montana’s state organic certification program. Representative Tilleman presented the bill and committee members described it as ready to advance after review of the amendments. A voice vote approved concurrence and proxy votes were recorded.
Committee discussion was brief; one member said he believed ‘‘everything’s clean’’ and the panel agreed to advance the bill to the floor. The committee identified a sponsor to carry the bill on the Senate floor.
Because the action was a do‑concur, the bill will next proceed to the full Senate for consideration under Senate rules.
