Section C appropriations subcommittee opens hearings, schedules review of motor-pool rates
Summary
At a morning meeting at the Department of Transportation, the Section C Appropriations Subcommittee on Natural Resources and Transportation moved to open hearings for all agencies in its section and signaled an upcoming discussion of motor-pool rates as part of its budget work.
The Section C Appropriations Subcommittee on Natural Resources and Transportation opened its hearings Thursday morning at the Department of Transportation and moved to begin executive-action review of agencies in the section.
Chair Schillinger welcomed members and staff, saying, “Well, good morning, everyone. And welcome, Representative Powers, to join us in person today. Glad you're feeling better, and we look forward to having you here. Welcome to the Department of Transportation.”
Senator Cupp moved “to open all agencies in section c, natural resources and transportation for executive action,” noting the committee will spend the coming weeks “discussing and fleshing out the budgets” for what some members described as five or six agencies. The motion was recorded in the transcript but a second and any subsequent vote were not recorded in the provided excerpt.
Committee members conducted roll call at the start of the session. Members whose attendance was noted in the transcript included Representative Powers, Senator Ellis, Vice Chair Cuff, Senator Bogner, Representative Albus and Chair Schillinger. Committee staff conducted the roll call.
Committee leaders said the early agenda will include an item on motor-pool rates; the transcript records only that the group planned to “visit about the motor pool rates” but does not include detailed discussion, figures or decisions on that topic in the excerpt provided.
The subcommittee’s stated next steps are to continue budget deliberations on the listed agencies over the next several weeks. The transcript excerpt does not record any formal votes on the motion to open or on substantive budget items in this session.
