House introduces two budget-related bills, refers H882 to appropriations and H883 to ways and means
Summary
During a brief House session the presiding member introduced H882 (a capital construction and state bonding adjustment carrying an appropriation) and H883 (an appropriations bill that affects state revenue); both were read for the first time and referred to standing committees under House Rule 35(a).
An unidentified presiding member of the House introduced two bills on their first reading and referred them to standing committees, then recessed the chamber for a joint assembly.
The presiding member read H882 as "H882, an act relating to capital construction and state bonding adjustment," and said the bill "is now read the first time" and "is carrying an appropriation." The presiding member stated the bill was referred to the Committee on Appropriations pursuant to House Rule 35(a).
The presiding member also read H883 as "H 883, an act relating to making appropriations for the support of government." The presiding member said H883 "has been read the first time and is affecting the revenue of the state" and referred it to the Committee on Ways and Means pursuant to House Rule 35(a).
No votes or committee actions took place in the session; both bills were introduced and routed to committee for further consideration. The session recessed "until the fall of the gavel, approximately 1:15 p.m.," so members could begin a joint assembly.
What happens next: Both bills will proceed to their referred committees—H882 to Appropriations and H883 to Ways and Means—where staff and committee members may schedule hearings, consider amendments and vote on whether to advance them to the full House.
