Committee approves minutes; introduces RS32721 regarding member stipend off-ramp
Summary
The committee approved the minutes for March 20 and March 21, then took up RS32721, which Representative Stephanie Mickelson introduced to clarify stipend/benefit treatment for members who leave office mid-term; committee introduced RS32721 after a procedural motion.
At the start of the meeting the State Affairs Committee approved the minutes for Thursday, March 20 and Friday, March 21 by voice vote.
The committee then considered RS32721. Representative Stephanie Mickelson introduced the RS and said it clarifies an "off-ramp" so members who leave office mid-term can still receive stipends or benefits through the end of their term. She asked for questions and moved the RS forward for introduction. Representative Achilles moved to introduce RS32721 and send it to the second-reading calendar; a substitute motion to introduce it without sending to the second-reading calendar was offered by Representative Scott but the committee ultimately introduced the RS. The motion carried on a voice vote.
