Several other bills were read for first referral to committees by the Rules Committee. The Rules Committee report listing dozens of bills and committee assignments was adopted by the House.
These actions reflect a mix of technical code fixes, occupational licensing rewrites, transportation/agriculture clarifications and labor‑related amendments across committees. Where fiscal notes were discussed on the floor during debate, members flagged local fiscal impacts (county attorney workload) as a concern.
