Back from break, Ways and Means Committee begins merging omnibus bills for House Floor

With just under six weeks (at most) left in the legislative session, much budget work has now been funneled to the House Ways and Means Committee, a final opportunity to shape omnibus bills before they hit the House Floor.

It’s also an opportunity to better match with similar topical omnibus bills moving through the Senate. That is why five bills on the committee docket became four Tuesday.

Sponsored by Rep. Rick Hansen (DFL-South St. Paul), HF2310, the omnibus environment and natural resources finance and policy bill, was amended to include the omnibus climate and energy finance bill.

That bill was then approved, as amended, on a split-voice vote and sent to the House Floor. The committee is scheduled to have hearings on several other budget bills this week as well. Read more
