House recalls House Bill 79 to restore omitted floor amendment
Summary
Representative Duckworth successfully moved to recall House Bill 79 from the Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel, saying a floor amendment had been left out of the formally filed bill; the motion passed and staff were asked to restore the language.
Representative Duckworth moved that the House recall House Bill 79 from the Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel, stating that an amendment placed on the House floor had been omitted from the bill text and needed to be restored. The motion to recall HB79 was agreed to on the floor; the House directed staff to retrieve the bill for correction so the missing amendment can be inserted.
The action is procedural: the recall sends the bill to legislative staff for correction rather than changing the bill’s substance on the floor. The Speaker asked staff to comply and called for the next order of business.
The request and outcome are recorded in the House transcript.
