The Senate Finance Committee reviewed multiple pieces of legislation, 3 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 5.
Of the seven bills on the agenda, five were received from the Senate while two were retrieved from the House. In total, six of the bills were reported to the full Senate with the recommendation that they each pass.
While Senate Bills 13, 14, 19 and 499 were reported to the full Senate, Senate Bill 147, which would shift funding from the Landfill Closure Assistance Fund to local solid waste authorities, was laid over. The decision to lay over the bill followed Sen. Robert Plymale, D-Wayne, raising concern over whether or not the potential legislation could jeopardize existing landfill plans from counties.
Senate Bill 19, which relates to the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, received a committee substitute.
