Joint Order, To Recall From The Governor'S Desk To The Senate L.D. 1488, An Act Regarding Cannabis Testing And The Manufacture Of Cannabis And Hemp Products
This bill is a procedural action that sends a previously passed cannabis regulation bill back to the Senate for further review instead of allowing it to be signed into law by the Governor. It directly affects the legislative process for L.D. 1488, which originally addressed cannabis testing and manufacturing rules. The mechanism involves the House of Representatives concurring with the order to recall the bill from the Governor's desk. This action pauses the final approval stage of the legislation, returning it to the Senate chamber for additional consideration.
