Summary
The Senate ALUNW committee moved Senate Bill 795 A, which modifies laws regarding cleanup of abandoned and derelict vessels, to the Senate floor with a due‑pass recommendation; the motion passed in committee and a carrier was requested.
At the committee opening on April 28, staff summarized Senate Bill 795 A as a measure that "modifies laws regarding the cleanup of abandoned or derelict vessels," saying there is no amendment, minimal fiscal impact and no revenue impact.
Co‑chair Owens moved SB 795 A to the floor with a due‑pass recommendation. "I move Senate Bill 795 a to the floor with a due pass recommendation," Owens said. The motion carried without recorded opposition at the committee session and the committee asked for a carrier for the bill; Rip Scharf was named as a volunteer to carry it.
The committee closed the related work session and did not take additional testimony on the bill during this meeting.
