Transcript

This is a transcript of the video clips in which this bill is discussed.

what we're about to vote on. Mr. Speaker, when you are a new Chairman, it's very tense time when you've been given this responsibility, especially with senate bills given the fact that you don't always know them as well as you do house bills. One of our new Chairman This year, unfortunately, explained one bill. Then later on in the calendar explained the other bill realizing that the prior bill was the one he was supposed to be explaining for the current bill. So there was some confusion. he did own up to the fact that he basically explained the wrong bill.
