House panels' chairs decide reconciliation bills not financially-related draft law
The meeting of the House speaker and standing House panel's chairs voted 22:1 to allow the House to deliberate the four reconciliation bills without endorsement from the prime minister.
After five hours of discussion, the meeting voted that the bills were not financially-related draft law.
Before the voting, Democrat MPs, who chair certain panels, staged a walkout, leaving only Shane Thuaugsuban in the meeting. Shane voted that the bills required endorsement from the prime minister before they could be deliberated.
