Committee adopts substitute for HB47, sets amendment deadline
Summary
The House Community and Regional Affairs Committee adopted a committee substitute for House Bill 47 (criminal provision drafting changes) and set an amendment deadline of noon on Monday, April 28; staff described minor wording changes and added a contractor/employee clarification to liability language.
The House Community and Regional Affairs Committee adopted a committee substitute for House Bill 47 at its April 24 meeting and set an amendment deadline for noon on Monday, April 28.
Representative Vance appeared in the committee to support the measure. Committee staff described small changes inserted into the committee substitute: language was added to clarify that an "employee or contractor" performing work is not liable under the provision (staff identified insertion points on page 3, line 14 and page 4, line 9 of the substitute). After staff explained the edits, committee members removed an earlier objection and the substitute was adopted as the working document (work draft 34‑LS‑0334). The committee then set the amendment deadline and set the bill aside for further consideration.
Ending: No formal floor action was taken; the committee paused the bill pending amendments due April 28.
