I was discussing strategy on a bill that is one of my highest priorities this session.

It’s also been introduced in the Senate.

The House bill will not be heard by my committee.

However, the lead sponsor of the identical Senate bill serves on the committee that will consider the legislation.

He’ll be in the room when decisions are made.

I suggested that we try to move the Senate bill first.  I will ask the House chair to hold my bill until the Senate acts.

The name on the sponsor line is not what matters.  It’s what follows – the text of the bill.
