Elections & Campaign Finance committee postpones two bills, removes three from calendar
Summary
At a brief meeting, the Elections & Campaign Finance committee recorded six members present and set two bills to be rolled for one week while taking three bills off notice; the committee chair said testimony is not allowed unless a bill’s sponsor is present.
The Elections & Campaign Finance committee met with six members present and acted on five bills on its calendar, postponing two for one week and taking three off notice, the clerk and the committee chair said.
The committee’s actions included a one-week roll of HB0886 (sponsor Todd) and a one-week roll of HB0139 (sponsor Warner), the chair said; HB0139 was noted as undergoing sponsor amendments. The committee removed HB0934 (sponsor Fritz), HB0202 (sponsor Kiesling) and HB5209 (sponsor Kiesling) from the notice list.
“The committee cannot give testimony unless the sponsor and the bill’s here,” the committee chair said, explaining that absent sponsors limit opportunities for public testimony on the bills.
At the start of the meeting the clerk noted attendance and the roll: “Mister chair, you have 6 members present,” the clerk said, and recorded that one member had signed in. The committee did not take formal votes on the five bills during the session.
After the calendar items were announced and there were no personal or other announcements, a motion to adjourn was made and the committee adjourned.
