Committee votes to reauthorize Interim Resources Committee; resolution sent to second reading
Summary
The Resources and Conservation Committee approved RS31842, a concurrent resolution to reauthorize the Interim Resources Committee and asked that the resolution be placed on the second reading calendar.
The Resources and Conservation Committee voted to introduce RS31842 and send it to the second reading calendar, reauthorizing the Interim Resources Committee that meets during the legislative interim to address natural resource issues.
"For the record, I'm Representative Raybould from District 34. RS31842 is a concurrent resolution that reauthorizes the Interim Resources committee," Representative Raybould said when introducing the measure. He explained the interim body gives legislators from both chambers a forum to receive agency updates and hold discussions on issues ahead of the legislative session.
A member asked who sits on the reauthorized committee. "The committee expired on November 30 with the end of everyone's term. Should this committee reauthorization go forward, then the respective leaders in both the House and Senate will handle the appointments to the committee," Representative Raybould said.
A motion to introduce the resolution and send it to the second reading calendar was made and carried by voice vote; the transcript records a voice vote with members responding "aye" and the chair declaring, "The ayes have it." The meeting record does not include a roll-call tally or named votes.
The resolution was described as restorative of the interim committee's authorization; no amendments or conditions were noted in the meeting. The committee did not at this meeting record a detailed membership list; Representative Raybould said appointments will be made by House and Senate leaders if the reauthorization proceeds.
