Sponsor Presents HB 241 Cost Details; Roll call Vote Called, Outcome Not Recorded
Summary
Representative Easterbrook described House Bill 241 as creating a $12,000 extension at 7% (about $840 a year); another member said the measure would save only $81. A roll call vote was called but the transcript does not record the result.
Representative Easterbrook, the bill sponsor, described House Bill 241 as proposing “house extension 2. 12 thousand dollars, extra cost at 7%, 840 dollars a year” during a meeting; a member countered, saying “to save $81. This makes no sense. The house is built exactly the same.”
The meeting chair said the body had already held a public hearing on HB 241 and that discussion would be limited because of time. After the sponsor spoke, the chair called for a roll call vote on the bill and asked for a motion and second; the transcript does not include the final vote tally or outcome.
Why it matters: The discussion centered on the financial effect of the bill's extension provision and whether the proposed extension meaningfully changes costs or savings. The transcript records specific dollar figures discussed by participants but does not show a recorded vote or any follow-up direction.
Details of the discussion: Representative Easterbrook summarized the bill in brief remarks: “This, this bill is about house extension 2. 12 thousand dollars, extra cost at 7%, 840 dollars a year.” A member criticizing the measure said the change would yield only an $81 savings and asserted that “the house is built exactly the same.” The chair prefaced the item by saying, “We've already had a public hearing on this. We're gonna limit the, discussion just because of, the time we've got.”
Formal action recorded in the transcript: The chair said, “I am gonna call for a roll call vote on this. Do I hear a motion?” and later asked for a second. The transcript ends without recording whether a motion was made, who moved or seconded, or the result of any roll call vote.
Context and limits: The transcript indicates a public hearing on HB 241 previously occurred, but it provides no text from that hearing and no supporting documents. The meeting record here does not specify the legislative body's name, the bill's full language, or the vote outcome. Where amounts or effects were stated in the meeting, the article reports them as presented by speakers without independent verification.
Next steps: The transcript does not record any assignment to staff, a scheduled follow-up, or the vote result.
