House places Bill 1,004 back on second reading; referred to joint budget committee
Summary
The Arkansas House resumed adjourned business and ordered House Bill 1,004 placed back on second reading to allow sponsor amendments; Representative Unger was named sponsor and the measure was sent to the Joint Budget Committee, with 'no objection' recorded.
The House resumed a continued session and the chair announced that lawmakers had moved to place previously considered measures back on second reading so sponsors could offer amendments. The chair said, “House bill 1,004, 1 amendment, first amendment,” and identified Representative Unger as the sponsor before directing that the measure be sent to the Joint Budget Committee.
Why it matters: Sending the bill to the Joint Budget Committee routes the measure through the chamber’s fiscal review process, which can affect its prospects for amendment or passage.
Details: The chair recorded that there was "no objection, so ordered," and asked members to "please send all amendments to be engrossed." The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or the text of the pending amendment, and no mover/second for a motion was specified on the record.
Next steps: The referral to the Joint Budget Committee was announced on the floor; any formal committee action, amendment text, or subsequent votes were not included in the transcript.
