What 'on call' and 'passed to Appropriations' mean
When the committee places a bill "on call," it remains on the committee docket and can be recalled for a later roll call or further consideration; "passed to Senate Appropriations" indicates the author’s motion to send a bill to the appropriations committee for fiscal review and further action.
The committee transcript records roll call tallies and which items were ‘‘on call’’ at the close of the hearing. These outcomes will determine which bills receive further fiscal review or additional hearings in the legislative calendar.
