Committee chairs report amendments and referrals on multiple bills; two bills postponed indefinitely
Summary
House committee chairs reported amendments and referrals across several bills — including referrals to the Committee of the Whole, Finance, and Appropriations — and noted two bills were postponed indefinitely. Senate Bill 149 was introduced and assigned to Judiciary; SJR21 was laid over one day.
Committee chairs in the House read a series of committee recommendations advancing amendments and referrals across multiple bills and announcing the indefinite postponement of two measures.
The Committee on Agriculture, Water and Natural Resources recommended that House Bill 1340 be amended and, as amended, referred to the Committee of the Whole with a favorable recommendation, the committee chair reported. The Committee on Business Affairs and Labor recommended amending Senate Bill 51B and also referred that measure to the Committee of the Whole with a favorable recommendation.
The Committee on Education recommended amendments to House Bills 1345 and 1417 and recommended referral of those bills to the Committee of the Whole. The committee further reported that Senate Bill 20 should be amended and, as amended, be referred to the Committee on Finance with a favorable recommendation. The Committees on Finance and Energy and Environment likewise recommended amendments and referrals for several bills, including a recommendation that House Bill 1100, as amended, be sent to the Committee on Appropriations.
Two bills were reported as postponed indefinitely: the committee announced that House Bill 1319 and House Bill 1264 were to be postponed indefinitely. The clerk also announced that House Bill 1414 was recommended to be amended and referred to the Committee of the Whole.
The chair read the recommendations aloud as formal committee reports and asked that they be printed in the House journal; the chief clerk confirmed the printing report would be included. The session contained no recorded roll-call votes on these recommendations during the reading.
The House concluded with an adjournment until Monday, April 27 at 10 a.m.
