House Speaker Brian Bosma and Minority Leader Pat Bauer have struck an agreement to keep a Right to Work bill off the floor until next week in an effort to keep Democrats in the chamber.
Democrats left the floor Tuesday, protesting a House committee meeting on Right to Work. Bosma says after reviewing video of the meeting, he felt it was not “democracy’s finest hour,” but says he saw nothing against the House rules. After meeting with Bauer Wednesday, Bosma announced Right to Work would not come before the full House for amendments until next Tuesday.
Bauer says delaying the legislation until next week will give his caucus more time to conduct public meetings around the state.
Democrats filed an official protest over the committee hearing Wednesday.
