Joint Order, To Require The Joint Standing Committee On Appropriations And Financial Affairs To Report Out 2 Bills To The Senate
This procedural bill (SP 799) directs the Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs to immediately recall and report two specific bills to the Senate. The recalled bills are L.D. 1140/S.P. 471 (a bond measure for Maine's agricultural economy) and L.D. 1912/S.P. 753 (a bond measure for housing shortages). The order overrides standard committee procedures to expedite consideration of these funding proposals. This action affects the committee's workflow and the Senate's schedule for these bills.
