Committee adopts substitutes for Senate bills 81 and 174; approves House bills 1524 and 1580
Summary
In executive session the House Emerging Issues committee adopted substitutes for Senate Bills 81 and 174 and approved House bills 1524 and 1580 after adopting technical substitutes; roll calls recorded 11–1 and 12–0 outcomes respectively.
With a quorum present, the House Committee on Emerging Issues moved into executive session and voted to adopt a substitute for Senate Committee Substitute for Senate Bills 81 and 174 and then approved the House Committee substitute recommending passage.
Chairman Christ moved that the substitute be voted "do pass" and then offered a distributed technical substitute ending in .06C; members adopted that substitute by voice vote before the roll call. The committee later recorded a roll call on the House Committee substitute: the motion passed by a vote of 11 ayes, 1 no, 0 present.
The committee then held executive session on House Bills 15‑24 and 15‑80. Members adopted a substitute ending in .02C after the bill handlers described it as addressing prior concerns; Representative Baker thanked staff for incorporating changes. The committee subsequently voted the House Committee substitute for House Bills 15‑24 and 15‑80 "do pass" by roll call, 12 ayes, 0 no, 0 present.
Committee members discussed the changes briefly on the record: the .06C substitute for the Senate bills corrected a technical omission (adding the word "license," as described by the chair). For House bills 15‑24 and 15‑80 the handler said the substitute removed taxing authority for certain community infrastructure districts (CIDs) and removed rulemaking authority from the board; sponsors indicated they may offer a floor amendment later.
No additional public testimony or policy debate on the floor accompanied the roll calls recorded in the executive session portion of the hearing.
