Committee moves SB 940 without recommendation to Housing and Development; motion passes

2252779 · February 6, 2025

Summary

Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Wildfire moved Senate Bill 940 without recommendation and referred it to the Senate Committee on Housing and Development. The motion was made by Vice Chair Nash and the chair recorded the motion as passing.

During a brief work session the committee considered Senate Bill 940, a measure to allow certain accessory dwelling units, recreational vehicles or emergency shelters on farmland where non‑farm dwellings are sited.

Vice Chair Nash moved the motion "to move Senate Bill 940 without recommendation as to passage and request that the bill be referred to the Senate Committee on Housing and Development." The motion was seconded verbally on the floor (second not specified in the record). Committee staff called the roll. The chair recorded the question and announced the motion carried: "Aye. Chair votes aye. Motion passes," the record shows.

The committee therefore referred SB 940 to the Senate Committee on Housing and Development without a committee recommendation on passage.

Ending: The referral advances SB 940 to the next committee where the bill's housing and land‑use provisions will be considered further.
