Committee reports out House Bill 302 after stripping broad stakeholder and reimbursement language
Summary
House Bill 302, assigned to the committee and appropriations, was reported out after accepting appropriations amendments that removed a broadly worded stakeholder phrase and a reimbursement clause; the committee recorded the bill as reported out with no recorded roll-call vote.
The Economic and Workforce Development Committee reported House Bill 302 out of committee after adopting amendments that were made in the Appropriations Committee, the Committee Chairman said.
Chairman explained that House Bill 302 had been assigned to the Economic and Workforce Development Committee and to Appropriations. Language removed in Appropriations struck the phrase "and other appropriate business and industry stakeholders" from a provision describing consultation on the State Workforce Investment Board (SWIB) and the Office of Workforce Development's work with the community college board and the Mississippi State University Research and Curriculum Unit. "That language has been stricken," the chairman said.
The Appropriations amendment also removed a sentence that had allowed costs accrued in one fiscal year to be claimed and reimbursed in the following fiscal year, the chairman said. The transcript records that a reverse repealer was added in the amendments. After a brief explanation and no recorded questions, the chairman moved that the committee report the bill "do pass as amended;" committee members approved the motion and the bill was reported out.
The transcript does not include specific vote counts or a roll-call; it shows the motion passed by voice vote. The amendment text beyond the two deletions summarized by the chairman was not read into the record in the captured excerpt.
