Committee approves substitute and reports House Joint Resolution E changing superintendent appointment language; final report passes 7–4
Summary
The committee adopted an H‑1 substitute to House Joint Resolution E clarifying that the state superintendent serves at the pleasure of the governor and referencing elected State Board of Education members; the committee reported the substitute by a 7–4 vote.
The House Education and Workforce Committee considered House Joint Resolution E, a constitutional amendment proposal clarified by an H‑1 substitute that the committee adopted and then reported to the full House. The substitute clarifies that the state superintendent serves at the pleasure of the governor and references the State Board of Education members as elected by districts, aligning the resolution with an expected floor substitute to a related bill.
Vice Chair Linting moved adoption of the H‑1 substitute; the clerk called the roll and the substitute was approved by voice/roll call (11–0) earlier in the hearing. The committee then voted to report House Joint Resolution E as substitute H‑1 with recommendation. The clerk recorded the roll: 7 ayes, 4 nays, 0 pass; the motion prevailed and the resolution was reported out of committee.
Representative Wilson voted no on the final report; other committee members recorded as nays included Kholzler and Weiss and Burns per the clerk’s announcement. Committee discussion referenced a prior week’s testimony on the resolution and stated the substitute aligns language about the superintendent and State Board elections with related pending legislation.
Ending: The H‑1 substitute was reported by committee with a 7–4 vote; the committee record shows the substitute was recommended to the full House for further consideration.
