Committee sets scope-week schedule, explains three-strike rule for scope bills
Summary
The committee outlined its scope-week schedule: scope bills will be heard first on Feb. 13, and sponsors who fail to present on that day will receive strikes on subsequent meetings, with removal from the box after repeated misses; removal requests require two days’ notice to staff.
Committee leadership reviewed the calendar and a process for handling scope bills. The chair said scope bills will be heard first on Feb. 13 and will be given priority during the first three subsequent meetings if not presented. The sponsor said the committee uses a "strike" system: a bill not presented on the scheduled scope day earns a first strike, a second missed appearance earns another strike and a third missed appearance would put the bill on deferred status.
A committee member asked about the process to remove a bill from the schedule. The chair directed members to notify staff (Shanice) by email and said the committee believed the rules require two days’ notice to remove a bill from the schedule; staff would confirm the exact rulebook citation.
The chair closed the meeting after addressing the agenda and the scope-week process.
