Committee records straw poll supporting sections of H.632 on environmental amendments
Summary
At a meeting shortly after 1 p.m., the Government Operations & Military Affairs panel held a non-binding straw poll on sections of H.632; seven members registered support and four did not, with no absences.
Shortly after 1 p.m., the Government Operations & Military Affairs panel held a non-binding straw poll on support for the sections of H.632 that fall under the committee’s jurisdiction. The convenor described a thumbs-up as supporting the reviewed sections and then counted responses.
The convenor reported “I got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7” thumbs in support and “4” non-supportive thumbs, and said there were no absences. The convenor characterized the gesture as an indication of support for the relevant sections only.
The straw poll is advisory: members used thumbs to register support during the meeting, but no formal motion or committee vote was recorded in the transcript and no binding committee action was taken at that time. The committee returned to other business after the poll.
The next formal step on H.632—if any—was not recorded in the transcript. The committee proceeded to hear testimony on a separate bill, H.831.
