HARRISBURG — Rep. Clint Owlett, R-Wellsboro, was named to three standing committees within the Pennsylvania House of Representatives this week.
They are the Insurance, Human Services and Liquor Control committees.
“I appreciate the variety of committees I have been assigned to and am excited to get started,” said Owlett. “These committee assignments will give me the opportunity to delve further into various issues and help shape them before they go to the full House for a vote.”
Within the legislative process, the committees are where all bills are first sent and reviewed. During the committee process, amendments can be offered, discussions on the bills take place and sometimes public or informational hearings are held to gather more information on a legislative issue before a vote is taken on whether or not to advance a bill for a vote before the full House.
