Public hearing on Bill 167-38 and Bill 171-38 (COR) recessed to 10 a.m. after weather-related landslide and traffic delays

A staff member announced that a Legislature 2025 public hearing originally scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on Bill 167-38 and Bill 171-38 (COR) was recessed until 10 a.m. because of a rain-induced landslide and resulting traffic delays.

The staff member, speaking at the hearing, apologized for the delay and said road crews had just reopened two lanes on East Aganya. "They just opened up 2 lanes, in East Aganya allowing some traffic to go through," the staff member said. The staff member explained the schedule change: "we are now gonna recess this public hearing until 10AM to give everyone ample time, those who wanna testify, and of course the authors of the legislation to be here. So at this time, we are in recess until 10AM."

The announcement asked attendees to notify others, noting the lanes on East Aganya were open in both directions and warned that roads remained hazardous because of continuing rain. "Please drive safely out there. It's still raining," the staff member said.

The record shows no substantive discussion of the content of Bill 167-38 or Bill 171-38 (COR) in the provided transcript excerpt. No votes or motions on the bills were taken in this segment; the only formal action recorded here is the recess of the public hearing until 10 a.m.

The hearing is expected to reconvene at 10 a.m. to allow authors of the legislation and members of the public additional time to arrive and testify. If further actions or testimony occur after reconvening, those items will be recorded in the meeting minutes and subsequent summaries.
