Committee advances DOGAMI fee bill to Rules after brief work session
Summary
Senate Bill 836, which raises fees for DOGAMI, was moved to the floor without recommendation and referred to the Rules Committee and then to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means by prior reference; committee members discussed pending internal DOGAMI review.
The Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Wildfire on March 25 moved Senate Bill 836 to the floor without recommendation and requested referral to the Committee on Rules and to the Committee on Joint Ways and Means by prior reference.
Vice Chair Nash made the motion to move SB 836 without recommendation. Committee members discussed the context of the bill — described in committee as proposing increases to DOGAMI fees — and noted that a previously ordered internal report on the Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) is due April 11 and could be relevant to final action. Senator Nash and other members noted concerns raised in testimony that stakeholder engagement on draft amendments had been limited.
Committee staff called the roll; Senator Graziano, Senator Nash, and Chair Golden voted in the affirmative and the motion passed. The committee closed its work session on SB 836 and opened the next item on the agenda.
Committee members recorded that amendments could be reintroduced in Rules and that parties interested in amendments retain the option to propose them in that forum.
