House Natural Resources and Tourism committee adopts rules, sets regular meeting time and place
Summary
The House Committee on Natural Resources and Tourism adopted a committee rule giving the chair discretion over testimony and set Wednesdays at noon in Room 519 of the Anderson House Building as its regular meeting time and place after roll-call votes were held.
The House Committee on Natural Resources and Tourism formally adopted a proposed committee rule giving the chair discretion over testimony and set Wednesdays at noon in Room 519 of the Anderson House Building as the committee's regular meeting time and location.
The motions were introduced and approved on roll call during the committee's organizational meeting. Representative Saint Germain moved to adopt the committee rule; the clerk announced the outcome as 16 yays, no nays and no passes. Representative McFaul then moved to adopt Room 519, Anderson House Building, at noon on Wednesdays as the committee's normal meeting time and location; that motion carried on a subsequent roll call announced as 17 yays, no nays and no passes.
The adopted rule references Chapter 4 of the House rules and specifies that testimony before the committee is at the discretion of the committee chair. Committee members were introduced afterward and members gave brief personal remarks about their backgrounds and priorities for the session.
Clerk announcements recorded the official roll-call counts for each motion and confirmed both motions prevailed. No additional policy votes were taken during the organizational items.
The committee then heard informational presentations from the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy before adjourning.
