Committee moves bill on municipal privatization referenda to floor with little debate
Summary
Substitute HB 7208, which would require referenda on sales or privatizations of municipal authorities or assets, was moved toward the floor with minimal discussion. Committee recorded a roll call and left votes open until 3 p.m.
The Planning and Development Committee on Friday, April 25, moved substitute HB 7208 — “an act concerning referendum on the sale of municipal authorities, departments, agencies, or assets thereof, or the privatization of municipal services or functions” — toward the House floor after a brief procedural exchange and without substantive committee debate.
A motion to report the substitute bill “JF to the floor” was made and seconded; the clerk conducted a roll call and the chair announced that votes would be held open until 3 p.m. for members not present in the room. No amendments or extended discussion were recorded in the transcript.
The chair told members votes would remain open and thanked participants for attending, noting the committee's recess followed the roll call. The transcript does not contain a final certified tally for the bill; the clerk recorded individual roll-call entries during the session and reiterated the votes would be kept open for members joining later.
