Committee holds House Bill 1290 pending fiscal note at attorney general's request
Summary
Committee members agreed to hold House Bill 1290 after the attorney general’s office requested a fiscal note; the chair said the bill will be held until counsel produces the fiscal note and the committee will revisit if the note affects the prior do-not-pass vote.
House Bill 1290 was held at the start of the session after the committee disclosed that the attorney general’s office requested a fiscal note. Chairman Clamine said the committee received an email from Legislative Counsel noting that if a fiscal note is prepared it could affect prior action and that the committee should hold the bill until the fiscal note is completed.
A committee member corrected a numerical error referenced in testimony about software costs, saying testimony had misstated an amount as billions when the correct figure was millions; the speaker noted uncertainty about the purpose of the fiscal note. The committee did not take further action on HB 1290 at the meeting and recorded that it would “hold that bill” pending the fiscal-note process and revisit if the fiscal note changes the previous vote.
No motion to advance the bill was recorded; the action is a hold pending supplemental analysis from Legislative Counsel and the attorney general’s office.
