Committee debate on House Bill 1695 centers on lien and notice language; final roll call shows amendment failed

A legislative committee considered Senate Amendment 1 to House Bill 1695, which sponsors said would clarify how cities notify lien holders and remove a separate notice to the land commissioner—s office. After extended discussion, a recessed review to resolve a typographical error, and public comment opposing expanded lien authority, the committee recorded a roll-call vote that the transcript concludes with "Your amendment has failed."
