On Feb. 6 the House Emergency Management, General Government and Veterans Committee advanced three measures by roll call: House Bill 2,515 (referral to Revenue), House Bill 2,581 (due pass to the floor) and House Concurrent Resolution 2 (due pass to the floor).
The House Committee on Emergency Management, General Government and Veterans held work sessions and recorded procedural votes on three measures on Feb. 6.
House Bill 2,515: Vice Chair Graber moved that HB 2,515 be moved without recommendation as to passage and referred to the House Committee on Revenue. The clerk called the roll and recorded affirmative votes from members present; the motion passed and the bill was referred to Revenue.
House Bill 2,581: Vice Chair Lewis moved HB 2,581 to the floor with a due‑pass recommendation. The clerk called the roll, recorded affirmative votes from members present, and the motion carried; HB 2,581 will go to the floor with the committee's due‑pass recommendation. LPRO staff noted the bill expands the duties of the state resilience officer to plan for all hazards, not just seismic events, and that there is minimal fiscal impact.
House Concurrent Resolution 2: Vice Chair Graber moved HCR 2 to the floor with a due‑pass recommendation. The clerk recorded affirmative votes from members present and the motion passed. LPRO staff summarized the resolution as stating that when suitable non‑PFAS firefighting personal protective gear is available the Legislative Assembly will enact legislation banning future use of PFAS in such gear; staff noted no fiscal impact.
