LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD
©Lancaster Farming Newspaper
Week Ending March 19,1980
The process by which bills are drafted, considered and
enacted into laws is complex, lengthy and confusing even to
the most attentive observer Each week on these pages we
attempt to provide a roundup of legislative highlights, but in
the process, we cannot call attention to the many other bills
languishing or boiling in various stages of the legislative
process
This scorecard, which we plan to update every week the'
legislature is in session, is an attempt to provide as complete a
rundown of farm legislation as we can
HOUSE AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE:
Bills under consideration by the Pennsylvania House of
Representatives Agriculture Committee, not yet placed on the
