House adopts committee reports and assigns dozens of bills to standing committees
Summary
The House accepted multiple standing committee reports and ordered many bills printed and referred to committees across labor, education, health, transportation and other policy areas.
Throughout the Feb. 3 session the House processed multiple standing committee reports. The Retirement Committee reported favorably on retirement-related bills (HB 155, SB 47, HB 32) and the Transportation and Public Safety Committee reported favorably on several measures (HB 179, HB 33, HB 174, HB 176, SB 11, SB 3), with appropriate placement on second/third reading calendars or referral to rules. The Rules Committee rescinded amendments and recommended printing and assignment of dozens of bills; chair Michael G. Wattis presented the committee report that the House adopted.
The Clerk listed bill assignments across many committees: business, labor and economic development; education; energy and natural resources; health and environment; human services; judiciary; retirement; revenue and taxation; state and local affairs; and transportation. Several bills were tabled, deleted in title and body or substituted as reflected in the committee recommendation entries read into the record.
These procedural steps moved a large set of measures through the House workflow, laying groundwork for further committee hearings and calendar scheduling.
