Executive actions: committee advances HB42, HB43, HB99; tables HB172 and HJ3
Summary
During executive action the House Transportation Committee passed several bills and tabled two items; HB42, HB43 and HB99 were reported do pass (as amended where noted); HB172 and HJ3 were tabled and moved to the committee packet for possible reconsideration.
The House Transportation Committee took executive action on multiple measures after afternoon hearings.
The committee voted to report the following bills as do pass from committee:
- House Bill 42 — Passed as amended in committee (amendment added notice requirement for county and municipal boards when highways are abandoned). Committee voice vote recorded; proxies were noted for several members. - House Bill 43 — Passed as amended; amendment clarified the definition of roadway by referencing 61-1-101. Committee voice vote recorded with proxy votes. - House Bill 99 — Passed; committee approved the committee substitute without recorded opposition and by voice vote with proxies.
The committee took the following actions on other items:
- House Bill 172 — The sponsor asked to table the bill after acknowledging the measure improperly intruded on MDT’s prioritization role; the committee tabled HB172 during executive action and requested an informational briefing from MDT on prioritization and budgeting. - House Joint Resolution 3 — The committee considered an amendment that changed the term "prioritize" to "seriously consider." After debate a substitute motion to table HJ3 passed on a roll-call reported as 10 in favor and 4 opposed; HJ3 was moved to the committee packet for future consideration.
Ending: The committee passed several bills out of committee and tabled two items for later consideration; members requested follow-up briefings from MDT on prioritization and budgeting to inform future action.
