Summary
During executive action the House State Administration Committee advanced four bills (HB111, HB112, HB113 and HB115) by voice vote to the House floor, passing committee consideration with voice votes and recorded proxies; texts range from adopting a uniform electronic materials act to routine code cleanups and halting printed indices of the MCA
The House State Administration Committee completed executive action on four bills and moved them to the House floor by voice vote.
House Bill 111, carried as a committee bill on behalf of the Legislative Council and sponsored in the session by Majority Leader Fitzpatrick, would adopt the Uniform Electronic Material Act. Committee staff described HB111 as a Legislative Council committee bill; the motion to pass was made in open executive action and the committee advanced the bill to the House floor.
House Bill 112, described by staff as the periodic code‑commissioner cleanup bill, corrects minor codification and grammatical issues identified during codification. Committee staff characterized HB112 as routine cleanups and the committee passed the bill by voice vote.
House Bill 113, an agency bill from the Department of Administration concerning resident preference in procurement, was described by staff as a process and code cleanup with no fiscal note. The committee advanced HB113 by voice vote.
House Bill 115 was presented as a Legislative Council committee bill to stop printing the index book of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), with staff noting the information is available online; the committee passed HB115 by voice vote.
The record shows voice votes with several members recorded voting by proxy. For example, the record indicates “Representative Running Wolf votes aye by proxy” and similar proxy votes were announced for other members during the roll. Committee staff answered procedural questions during executive action and no roll-call tallies were recorded in the hearing transcript; each bill was reported out of committee for action on the House floor.
