House committees that amend themselves into Senate committees #90

Closed jsfenfen closed 9 years ago

Can be problematic. Even if the candidate id associations change goes through successfully, we have to manually set the fact that they are now paper filers. This is probably just intrinsically messy; they just sorta start filing on paper when they feel like it. Hmm. Example is Steve Daines, a MT rep who amended his committee in 2013 to be a senate committee.

This is likely necessary messiness that isn't likely to go away any time soon.
