Senate committee advances bill letting counties use portion of grasshopper suppression funds
Summary
The Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Wildfire moved House Bill 3487A to the floor with a due-pass recommendation after staff summary and no discussion; the measure passed the committee vote unanimously.
On April 24, 2025, the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Wildfire moved House Bill 3487A to the floor with a due-pass recommendation after a staff summary and no committee discussion.
Committee staff summarized the bill as allowing counties that receive grasshopper suppression funds from the Department of Agriculture to use up to 8 percent of those funds (text in the committee summary). Vice Chair Nash moved the bill to the floor with the committee's due-pass recommendation; there was no discussion before the committee voted. The recorded vote was: Senator Druck, aye; Senator Pruzanski, aye; Senator Taylor, aye; Vice Chair Nash, aye; Chair Bolton, aye. The motion passed unanimously in committee.
The committee did not record further amendments or conditions on the committee's action. The next procedural step is to have the bill carried to the Senate floor for further consideration; Vice Chair Nash moved it, and the committee confirmed the passage at the April 24 work session.
Because the committee action was procedural (moving the bill to the floor), there were no additional directions to staff recorded during the hearing period.
