Senate refers H.801 and S.55 to committee

At the start of the session the presiding officer announced two referrals: H.801, described on the floor as affecting state revenues, will be referred to the Committee on Finance; S.55, described as affecting state expenditures, was referred to the committee noted on the floor. The transcript provides no further detail about the bills’ contents or sponsors in this session.

Why it matters: Committee referral is the next step for floor business; referral signals which committee will consider the measure for hearings, amendment and recommendation. The transcript includes no roll-call or detailed sponsor remarks about either bill.
