Senate refers several files to Ways and Means and Appropriations committees
Summary
The presiding officer announced referrals of multiple Senate files from the calendar: six files were sent to Ways and Means and one to Appropriations, signaling the next step in their legislative review process.
The presiding officer announced that, pursuant to Rule 38, a group of bills was referred from the calendar to standing committees for further consideration. "The chair announces that pursuant to rule 38, the following bill bills are referred from the calendar," the presiding officer said, listing "Senate file 22 75, Senate file 22 91, Senate file 22 92, Senate file 22 95, Senate file 2,301 and Senate file 2,317" to the Committee on Ways and Means and "Senate file 2,282" to the Committee on Appropriations.
Referral to committee is the routine next step for bills called from the calendar; committee assignment determines which lawmakers will review the measures, hold hearings, and make recommendations before any floor action. The transcript does not include bill titles, sponsors, or summaries; those details were not specified on the floor and will be developed as the bills proceed in the assigned committees.
The announcement was made early in the session and no debate on the listed files occurred on the floor during this meeting. Members did not record a roll-call vote on any of the listed referrals during the segment.
