Committee finds H 17 favorable, advances Morristown charter to floor
On Friday, March 21, the Government Operations & Military Affairs committee voted to find H 17 favorable, advancing an act that approves the adoption of the charter of the town of Morristown to the legislative floor.

A committee member (Speaker 1) opened the segment by saying the panel was "picking up work after lunch" and that the members had "heard testimony yesterday to kind of wrap up the conversation in and around h 17 and act relating to the approval of the adoption of the charter of the town of Morristown. And I think we found ourselves in a comfortable place with that." The member then entertained a motion "to find h 17 ... favorable." A second was called; the record does not identify the mover or the seconder by name.

The committee conducted a roll-call vote. The following representatives were recorded voting yes: Representative Boyden; Representative Pinsonault; Representative Morgan; Representative Cooper Burlington; Representative Coppin; Representative Stone; Representative Cooper Randolph; Representative Nugent; Representative Waters Evans; Representative Ingram; and Representative Hancock. After the roll call, the clerk noted the item as "reporting," indicating the bill will be reported to the floor.

A committee member later asked, "Who would wanna report this on the floor?" and the transcript shows a member identified as "BL" volunteered to take the task.

The committee's action was procedural: finding H 17 favorable forwards the bill for floor consideration. The transcript contains no record of amendments, conditions, or dissenting votes during this segment. No implementation details, funding sources, or effective dates were discussed in the recorded segment.

The committee spent a brief portion of the meeting on H 17; the discussion centered on wrapping up prior testimony and moving the bill forward rather than debating substantive revisions. The clerk's roll call and the volunteer to report the bill to the floor are the final recorded steps in this segment.
