Chair refers House File 989 to Agriculture Committee under Rule 38
Summary
The presiding officer announced that, pursuant to Rule 38, House File 989 was referred from the Ways and Means Committee to the Agriculture Committee for further consideration.
Early in the March 2 session the chair announced a referral: 'pursuant to rule 38, house file 989, is referred from the committee on ways and means to the committee on Agriculture.' The announcement placed House File 989 into the Agriculture Committee's queue for consideration per chamber procedure, but the floor record in this session did not include debate of the measure or a committee response.
The referral was an in-session procedural announcement and no vote or amendment on House File 989 was recorded in the Senate at this time. The announcement gives the Agriculture Committee authority to schedule hearings or take further action on the bill according to internal committee processes.
