The House worked the first two bills of the session. A bill is introduced, assigned to a committee where it will have a hearing to receive public testimony, if the committee chairman chooses. Any person or group may testify in person or with testimony in favor or against and suggest changes to the proposed legislation. After the hearing, the committee chair has the option to "work the bill."
