Summary
The House Commerce Committee voted to adopt amendments to the Investment Incentive Act (House Bill 24-4 HD1) and passed House Bill 24-13 HD1 and Senate Bill 24-15 SD1; committee approved final forms and authorized reports as described on the record.
The House Commerce Committee adopted three bills during the meeting and directed staff to prepare required reports and transmittals.
House Bill 24‑4 HD1 — Investment Incentive Act amendments: Committee members moved to adopt a floor amendment that removed multiple subsections and renumbered the bill. The motion to adopt House Bill 24‑4 HD1 was offered and seconded; the chair called the vote and announced, “Motion carries. House Bill, 24 dash 4, HD 1 is hereby adopted.” The floor amendment deletes several language blocks and removes what the mover described as redundant third‑party certification requirements for CETA-related due-diligence reviews. The transcript records the motion, a second and a voice vote; no roll call tally was stated on the record.
House Bill 24‑13 HD1 — Registrar of Corporations fee changes: The committee voted to adopt House Bill 24‑13 in the form of House Draft 1 and to have staff prepare a standing committee report for passage in that form. Earlier in the meeting the committee voted to rescind and reconsider an April 22 motion on the bill and voters then approved moving the bill forward in its HD1 form. The transcript shows the motion was offered, seconded and approved by voice vote; no roll call tally was recorded.
Senate Bill 24‑15 SD1 — Online corporate filing number and public portal: Committee members adopted Senate Bill 24‑15 SD1, which would add filing numbers to incorporation filings and create an Internet portal to search corporate existence by filing number. Committee discussion confirmed the procurement for the online service is intended to be flexible enough to incorporate future legislative changes. The motion to adopt was offered, seconded and approved by voice vote; the chair announced the measure was adopted.
