This May Be A Dumb Question...

Submitted by .Sean on September 16, 2009 - 2:12pm

But does it really matter what the House Interim Committee on Autism decides to do before the next legislative session if Speaker Ron Richard and Floor Leader Steve Tilley won't let it come up for a vote?

There was autism insurance legislation last year, sponsored by GOP Sen. Scott Rupp that passed overwhelmingly by the Senate and enjoyed the support of an overwhelming majority in the House -- 110 Representatives, by Rupp's count. 

Why does Speaker Richard need a new committee recommendation to allow a vote on already-very popular legislation?
