Answer:

The sponsor can file a discharge petition

Step-by-step explanation:

A discharge petition withholds the committee from further consideration of a bill or resolution. It is a means of bringing a bill to the floor for consideration without any report from the committee.

The sponsor can file a discharge petition to keep the bill from being pigeonholed.

Pigeonhole means not to assign or hear debate on the bill.
