Committee Delivers 18 More Bills
July 22, 2010
03:09 PM
In a two-hour mark-up today, Senate Energy Committee reported 18 new bills, six of them dealing with energy and 12 with public lands. Most of these bills were modified with amendments.
The process of working through a crowded 29-bill agenda was aided by some entertaining conversation and thoughtful debate. Because 11 bills still await Committee action as part of this mark-up, the meeting was put into recess and will be reconvened later. Because of a parliamentary snag, two of the energy bills -- Supply Star and 10 Million Solar Roofs -- will be re-adopted at that point.
