RELEASE: REP. BACKER APPOINTED TO CONFERENCE COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE BILL

Tuesday, April 18, 2017

ST. PAUL, MN -- Representative Jeff Backer (R-Browns Valley) has been appointed to the conference committee for Senate File 780: the Agriculture Omnibus Bill. Backer joins four other House conferees, as well as five Senate conferees, who will work in the coming days to resolve the differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill.

"I am honored to have been selected to serve on the Agriculture Omnibus Bill Conference Committee," Backer said. "Agriculture is so important for west central Minnesota and I look forward to the opportunity to represent our district in this unique capacity.”

After the conference committee report is passed, it will head to the House and Senate to be voted on. If passed by both bodies, the report will then be sent to the Governor for his final consideration.
