The Senate Agriculture, Forestry & Economic Development committee met at 09:30 to consider a package of four levy/levee district bills (HBs 1251, 1248, 1249, 1250) and a major rewrite creating a state meat inspection program (HB 1315). The levy bills were passed by voice vote; the meat inspection bill drew extensive questioning about funding and lab capacity and was pulled for further information and likely re-consideration.
