Reid Chung · Answer 1

The best course of action is for the representative to file for a discharge petition.

Explanation:

This is a situation where a member of the House of representative, takes a bill out from a committee to the floor of the House of representative for discussion and consideration, without approval from the committee. Hence, during a file for a discharge, the committee is stopped from making consideration or amendments on the bill.
