Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee votes to draft two House bills; public hearing set for 11 a.m.
Summary
The Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee approved a motion to draft House Bill 5977 and House Bill 5979 by voice vote and held attendance open until a public hearing scheduled for 11 a.m.; no details of the bills were provided in the transcript.
Chair, Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee, opened the meeting and moved the committee to item 3 on the agenda: a motion to vote to draft items 1 and 2 on the agenda, identified as House Bill 5977 and House Bill 5979.
Representative Paletta made the motion and Representative Luxembourg seconded it. The chair asked, “Any objection to a voice vote? Seeing none, all in favor, please say 'aye.'” Committee members responded “Aye,” and the chair said the motion carries.
Committee staff announced that attendance would be held open until the start of the public hearing at 11 a.m., which the chair said would also accomplish item 4 on the agenda. At several points during the attendance confirmations, staff and members referenced the brief procedural nature of the meeting.
The transcript includes no debate, explanatory remarks, or bill text for House Bill 5977 or House Bill 5979. Committee staff later noted the agenda for the upcoming public hearing included six bills, but no further details about those measures were provided in the recorded excerpt.
Because the motion was decided by voice vote, no roll-call tally or recorded individual votes appear in the transcript. The committee scheduled a public hearing at 11 a.m. where the bills are expected to be considered further.
