House reads committee reports and posts long consent calendar and printed bills list
Summary
The House clerk and Rules Committee presented a long set of printed bills and committee assignments and the chamber moved several items on the consent calendar, including circling and lifting bills to the third reading calendar.
The House clerk and the Rules Committee presented a broad list of bills ordered printed and recommended to standing committees, including appropriations, education, taxes, health, transportation and many other areas. Committee chair Marta Delray read the committee recommendations and asked the House to adopt the Rules Committee report.
Several bills were identified for the consent calendar; Representative Curtis successfully moved to lift House Bill 198 (expansion of access to Fish and Game opportunities) to the top of the third-reading calendar and to circle it. Committee votes on some items were read into the record (for example, Natural Resources recorded a committee vote for HB198 as 12 yes, 0 no, 2 absent). The clerk continued the floor reading of dozens of printed bills and resolutions, which the Rules Committee asked the House to assign to the appropriate standing committees.
Members also received procedural announcements about campus and community events and upcoming meetings; Representative Goodfellow highlighted rotunda lunches and evening arts awards. The transcript shows these procedural and calendar actions occupied substantial floor time.
