The Senate State Affairs Committee voted to send Dane Hardy’s gubernatorial appointment to the Public Utilities Commission to the full Senate with a recommendation of confirmation after an uncontested motion.
The Senate State Affairs Committee on Thursday moved to send Gov. Jim Little’s appointment of Dane Hardy to the Idaho Public Utilities Commission to the full Senate with a recommendation that Hardy be confirmed.
Senator Harris made the motion to forward the nomination and Senator Rauchter seconded. Chairman Guthrie called for discussion and, hearing none, the committee voice-voted in favor. “That motion carries,” the chair said.
Committee members did not request further testimony or raise objections during the brief action. The committee’s forward recommendation sends Hardy’s appointment to the Senate floor for consideration and a final confirmation vote.
The committee did not record a roll-call tally in committee minutes; the chair announced the motion carried by voice vote.
