Legislative delegation passes House Local Bill 24‑25 to appropriate $42,000 for Second Senatorial District
Summary
The legislative delegation passed House Local Bill 24‑25 (Draft 1) to appropriate $42,000 from broker-fee revenues for the Second Senatorial District. A vice chair amendment adjusting distribution and administrative authority was adopted before the final 3‑0 vote.
The legislative delegation passed House Local Bill No. 24‑25 (Draft 1) on Sept. 3, 2025, approving an appropriation of $42,000 from revenues collected from broker fees in the Second Senatorial District.
The measure, moved by Representative Patrick Sunnyclas, the delegation’s floor leader, and seconded by an unnamed member, advanced after the delegation adopted an amendment offered by Vice Chair Senator Frank Q. Cruz that revised the distribution of funds and a section on administrative authority. “I would like to offer a floor amendment on subject legislation,” Cruz said, identifying the amendment by page and line numbers and noting proposed changes to the appropriation and administrative authority. The amendment was adopted on a voice vote.
The bill’s passage followed a roll call that the clerk reported as a 3‑0 affirmative vote. The chair announced, “With 3 members voting yes, House Local Bill 24‑25 is hereby passed in the form of delegation draft 1.” The bill text as introduced states the appropriation source as “revenues collected from broker fees in the Second Senatorial District” and the amount as $42,000; specific line‑by‑line distribution after the amendment was not read into the record during the session.
Discussion recorded in the session focused on the amendment’s location in the draft (page 1, line 9; page 2, lines 6–10; and section 3, administrative authority, line 13–14) rather than extended debate on program details or recipients. The clerk and vice chair confirmed members had copies of the proposed amendment prior to the vote. No further public testimony on the bill was taken during the bill calendar portion of the session.
The delegation’s action completes the local appropriation step at the delegation level; the session did not record subsequent administrative steps or disbursement instructions beyond the amended language in the draft. The chair closed the bill calendar after the passage and moved to miscellaneous business and adjournment.
