House Energy Committee adopts dash‑1 amendment to HB 142 at fourth hearing

At the House Energy Committee meeting, Representative De Villa moved to adopt the dash‑1 amendment to House Bill 142 during the bill's fourth hearing. The chair put the motion to the committee; without objection, “the amendment shall become part of the bill,” and the chair declared the motion agreed to.

Committee leadership said the subbill incorporated stakeholder feedback and that no testimony was scheduled to allow time for parties to review the revised language. The chair noted the committee’s tradition of releasing a new draft and allowing time for review before taking further testimony.

The chair concluded the fourth hearing on HB 142 and the committee proceeded to the next item on the agenda.
