The House Agriculture & Natural Resources Subcommittee held a meeting Feb. 18 focusing on three substantive items: HB 1155 (cell‑cultured meat), HB 2070 (Tennessee Energy Freedom Act), and HJR 869 (country‑of‑origin labeling). The committee agreed to attach amendment 012954 to HB 1155 (enactment‑date change) and advanced the bill to the second calendar by voice vote.
On HB 2070, Chairman Todd presented the bill to limit certain liability related to covered fossil‑fuel emissions; members questioned retroactive and extraterritorial language and whether cleanup claims (for example, ash‑spill cleanup) would be excluded.

Representative Jones presented HJR 869 urging Congress to reinstate mandatory country‑of‑origin labeling for meat, and the subcommittee advanced the resolution to the second calendar by voice vote.
