Committee recommends 'do not pass' on science museum construction grant (HB1492); roll call 13–1
Summary
The House Education Committee voted 13–1 to recommend a do not pass on House Bill 1492, a bill that would have appropriated funds for a science museum construction pass‑through grant. Representative Christie asked the committee to recommend do not pass; members approved the motion in a roll call.
Representative Christie told the committee he would move that House Bill 1492 receive a do‑not‑pass recommendation and be placed on the consent calendar. The committee instead took a roll‑call on a motion for "do not pass." The clerk recorded a committee vote of 13 in favor and 1 opposed, and the committee chair announced the motion carried 13–1.
Nut Graf: HB1492, described in committee as "an appropriation to the Department of Public Instruction for a pass‑through grant for a science museum construction project," received no testimony in favor that carried the bill forward; committee members moved for a do‑not‑pass recommendation and the motion was approved on a roll call.
What happened in committee
- Title read into the record: the bill would appropriate funds to DPI for a science museum construction pass‑through grant.
- Representative Christie stated he would ask for a do‑not‑pass on HB1492 and to place it on the consent calendar. Later the committee formally moved and seconded a do‑not‑pass motion and directed the clerk to take a roll call.
- Roll call: The committee clerk recorded 13 yes votes and 1 no vote on the motion to recommend do not pass. The committee chair announced the motion carried 13–1. The transcript does not show a subsequent floor action; the committee’s recorded recommendation was do not pass.
Ending: With the committee recommendation logged as do not pass, HB1492 will advance from the committee with that formal recommendation in the record.
