House allows conference committee to expand scope on wireless permitting bill
Summary
The House voted to permit the conference committee on House Bill 10‑56, concerning local government permitting of wireless telecommunication facilities, to go beyond differences between chambers to add a timeline to the tolling amendment; the motion passed on a recorded vote.
The Colorado House on Monday voted to allow the conference committee for House Bill 10‑56 to go beyond the scope of differences between the House and Senate in order to add a timeline to a tolling amendment related to local government permitting of wireless telecommunications facilities.
Representative Lukens moved the floor motion to permit the committee to go beyond the scope; she told members the change was necessary to add a timeline to the tolling amendment. After the motion was called up for a vote, the clerk reported the result: “With 52 I, 7 no, and 6 excused, the motion to go beyond the scope is adopted.”
The bill, described by the reading clerk as "concerning local government permitting of wireless telecommunication facilities," had been before a conference committee to reconcile differences between the chambers. Sponsors said the amendment would add a clear timeline to the tolling provision, central to applicants and local permitting authorities.
The House also designated a list of bills as special orders for the next day at 10:20 a.m. and continued floor business. The committee-permission vote permits negotiators to make the timeline change during conference committee deliberations.
