Chair Caesar Quarrel opened the committee, set a goal to finish the agenda by 11:30 a.m., and asked public testifiers to limit remarks to two minutes and avoid repeating previous testimony. He announced House Bill 506 had been signed out of committee and would not be heard to avoid unnecessary waiting.
The Senate Agriculture, Forestry & Economic Development committee heard a full slate of department and policy bills, advancing measures on nutrient-management confidentiality for poultry farmers, department transfers, procurement flexibility for state-park lodging, antimicrobial retail sales alignment with FDA guidance, rural economic development, parks maintenance limits, and multiple agency cleanup bills; all items on the agenda were passed by voice vote and the committee adjourned.
