Conference committee defers and schedules multiple housing-related bills to reconvene at 3:30 p.m.
Summary
The joint House–Senate conference committee deferred one bill and scheduled multiple housing and related bills to reconvene at 3:30 p.m. in Room 016 for further action; several measures had agreement subject to fiscal (FIN/WAM) releases.
A joint House and Senate conference committee on April 25 deferred one agenda item and scheduled numerous housing-related bills to reconvene later the same day at 3:30 p.m. in Conference Room 016 for further action.
The committee deferred HP 1294 HD2 SD1 (agricultural workforce housing) because the measure had not yet been released for further consideration. After the initial deferment, members listed a series of bills that they said had either reached agreement on language or required minor revisions but still needed FIN or WAM release before final action. The conferees agreed to reconvene at 3:30 p.m. in Room 016 to address those outstanding fiscal releases and any final changes.
Bills the committee scheduled to reconvene include HB 286 HD2 SD1 (individual housing account program); HP 1298 HD3 SD1 (housing); HB 1409 HD1 SD1 (transit-oriented development); Senate Bill 662 (transportation, CD1 agreement reached but awaiting WAM); Senate Bill 26 (affordable housing); HB 740 HD2 SD2 (housing); HB 432 HD1 SD2 (rental housing revolving fund); SB 1229 (dwelling unit revolving fund); and SB 944 (low-income housing tax credit). For many of those measures the committee reported "agreement on a CD1" or similar language but repeatedly noted they were awaiting WAM release or that the bill was undergoing revisions.
On one early agenda item — HP 1294 HD2 SD1 relating to agricultural workforce housing — committee members stated the bill was "deferred" and adjourned that item without a final vote. For other items, members explicitly set reconvene times rather than voting: the committee repeatedly moved a set of housing and related measures to the 3:30 p.m. reconvening slot in Room 016.
The hearing concluded after the committee scheduled those follow-up sessions. Committee members stressed that the reconvening was intended to allow time for necessary fiscal sign-offs and for final technical edits before any votes.
The committee did not record additional public testimony or detailed debate on these items in the hearing transcript; most of the entries were scheduling and status confirmations.
The committee’s next step is to reconvene at the stated time to consider those bills once FIN and WAM releases are available or revisions are completed.
