A Senate committee advanced HB382, carried for Representative Kiel, after members approved the measure by unanimous consent.
The committee member carrying HB382 told colleagues the bill is a companion to HB212 and "does some defining of the teams and co brokerage agreements," and said they would answer questions. A senator raised a concern that the measure might conflict with "national ethics," saying they would vote for it in committee but asked for an explanation before floor consideration. "So I'm gonna vote for the bill today, but I would like an explanation of that, before we get to floor," that senator said.
The sponsor and committee members thanked Mr. Poe, identified on the record as a commissioner with the real estate commission, and the real estate agents association for working on language. The carrier also acknowledged Senator Kelly for assistance; the transcript notes Kelly is an agent.
Senator Hatcher moved a favorable report; Senator Melson seconded. No member objected when the committee proceeded under previous consent and the clerk announced the item complete.
The transcript identifies HB225 by Regent Holliston as the committee's next item and indicates HB225 and two other measures are companion bills or contain similar provisions, but the record does not include further details about HB225 or the other companion bills.
