Summary
Committee chairs presented and the House adopted numerous committee reports recommending passage, substitution or referral. The clerk also read dozens of newly introduced House bills and memorials that were ordered printed and referred to appropriate committees.
During the Feb. 3 session the House adopted a long series of committee reports and took up introductions of many bills and memorials for referral.
Committee chairs reported recommendations across several committees — Commerce and Economic Development, Judiciary, Energy/Environment/Natural Resources, Appropriations and others — with the House adopting favorable and substitute committee reports by voice vote. Items included committee substitutes recommended for bills originally reported as 'do not pass' by a committee, with substitutes reported as 'do pass.'
After committee reports the clerk read a long list of newly filed items to be printed and referred, including (by title) House Bills 271–305 and several memorials and joint resolutions. Topics ranged widely: appropriations for land purchases and trustee matching funds (House Bill 271), tax exemptions, early childhood investigation teams, regulations on cannabis product packaging (House Bill 294), the Access/Accessibility Act (House Bill 295) and appropriations for rural infrastructure and education-related studies.
Most items were ordered printed and referred to the committees identified on the floor. Members were reminded of committee schedules, caucus meetings and receptions following adjournment.
