House Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications committee holds organizational meeting, adopts rules
Summary
The House Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications Committee met for an organizational session; members introduced themselves and the committee adopted its rules for 2025–2026 by voice vote.
The House Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications Committee held its organizational meeting and adopted the committee rules for the 2025–2026 session, members said.
Don Parsons, chair of the committee, opened the session and asked members to introduce themselves. Several representatives gave brief district identifications; speakers included Rep. Todd Jones (District 25), Rep. Mark Montahan (District 17), Rep. Chuck Martin and others who said they would serve on the committee this session.
Rep. Chuck Martin moved to adopt the committee rules as presented; the motion was seconded and adopted by voice vote with no recorded nays. The committee chair said the rules were the same as the prior session and explained that most detailed bill work is handled in subcommittees before full-committee consideration.
Why it matters: The committee oversees legislation affecting energy, utilities, telecommunications and related infrastructure — areas that can affect consumers, local governments and regulated utilities statewide. The organizational vote sets procedures the committee will use when it hears bills and testimony this session.
Ending
The chair adjourned the meeting after rule adoption and no other business was raised.
