Committee records bill to remove repealer from harvest permit law
Summary
The committee recorded a bill, attributed to Sen. Branning, that would remove a repealer provision from a harvest permit law passed previously; senators described pressure from farmers as rationale for the change.
Committee members heard a bill described as a change to a harvest permit law enacted a few years earlier. The sponsor identified in discussion was Sen. Branning (referred to as "judge Branning" in the transcript), and committee members said the bill would remove the repealer clause so the law would not expire.
Supporters in the hearing cited difficult conditions for farmers, including poultry and grain operations, as the reason for removing the repealer. The transcript records a motion and a voice vote; the chair said the bill would be recorded for the minutes.
What the record does not show: the specific statute or code section containing the repealer, the effective date of the change, or any fiscal impact statements. The committee did not record a roll-call tally during the voice vote.
