Committee approves DR260781 draft for introduction and sets floor notice

The committee took up DR260781 (draft 3.1), a committee bill placed on the agenda for introduction. At the end of the H.727 discussion a committee member moved to approve the draft for introduction.

"I move we approve draft 3.126Dash0781 for introduction," said a committee member (recorded on the transcript as the member speaking in SEG 2461). Several members responded "yes" when their names were called; the motion was recorded for introduction and the chair said the bill would be placed on notice and scheduled for floor consideration later in the week. The chair also said she would prepare the floor report.

The committee did not debate the motion at length, and members confirmed their support in a roll call exchange captured in the transcript. The committee set a brief recess following the approval.

No fiscal or programmatic changes to DR260781 were described on the record at the time of the vote; the transcript indicates the measure will be posted for floor action with the committee reporter preparing the floor materials.
