Resources and Conservation Committee reauthorizes interim resources panel
Summary
The committee voted to introduce a concurrent resolution to reauthorize the Interim Resources Committee and send it to the second reading calendar; appointments to the reauthorized body will be made by House and Senate leaders.
The Resources and Conservation Committee voted to introduce a concurrent resolution reauthorizing the Interim Resources Committee and to send it to the second reading calendar.
Representative Bridal Raybould (District 34) presented RS31842 as a reauthorization of the interim panel that convenes during the legislative interim to examine natural resources issues and receive updates from state agencies. He asked the committee to send the resolution to the second-reading calendar for consideration.
The resolution does not itself appoint members. Raybould said the committee expired with the end of members' terms on Nov. 30 and that "the respective leaders in both the House and Senate will handle the appointments to the committee" if reauthorization moves forward. A committee member moved to introduce the resolution and send it to second reading. The committee approved the motion by voice vote; the chair announced, "The ayes have it. Congratulations, that's our first bill this year." The committee did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript.
The action authorizes the interim panel to reconvene and continue receiving agency briefings and holding discussions on natural-resources topics between sessions. No appointments or a membership list were provided during the meeting. The resolution's next procedural step is placement on the second reading calendar, where further consideration and any required scheduling will be handled by the chamber calendars office.
