Committee executive actions: which bills passed, failed or were tabled during session
Summary
During the Feb. 14 House Local Government Committee meeting, the panel considered multiple bills in executive session. Several bills failed to pass out of committee, while several senate bills were concurred in or passed out of committee; the committee also moved and amended other measures.
The House Local Government Committee on Feb. 14 conducted executive action on several bills. The transcript records final outcomes or committee votes for the bills below.
Votes and outcomes recorded in committee (excerpted):
- House Bill 511 (firefighting training facility grant program): The committee considered amendments and a motion to pass the bill as amended. A roll-call vote recorded 8 ayes and 9 noes; the motion failed and the bill was tabled. The committee had earlier adopted a technical amendment (procedural timing change) before the final vote.
- House Bill 830 (local emergency quick response program): The committee adopted an amendment package (1.2) by voice/proxy and then voted on the bill as amended. A roll-call recorded 8 ayes and 9 noes; the motion failed and the bill was tabled.
- Senate Bill 262 (exemption from NEPA review for certain subdivision water and sewer plans): Committee members debated and considered an amendment. The proposed narrowing amendment failed on a 7-10 recorded vote; the underlying bill as presented was subsequently passed out of committee (concurred in) and a sponsor/carrier was identified to carry it further.
- Senate Bill 10: The committee approved SB 10 in executive action by voice vote with proxy tallies recorded (the transcript notes 17 ayes in one voice vote tally) and assigned a sponsor/carrier.
- Senate Bill 175 (revising county zoning procedures): The committee concurred in SB 175 in executive action by voice vote with proxy tallies; sponsors were identified to carry the bill forward.
Notes on procedure and context
- Several actions included proxy votes from absent members; the transcript lists multiple proxy vote entries. - Some bills had amendments adopted that were described as technical or timing adjustments (for example, changing a July 1 transfer to July 15 in one bill to accommodate fiscal timelines). - For HB 511 and HB 830 the committee debated policy merits and fiscal timing; both measures failed to receive a majority in the recorded roll-call votes shown in the transcript excerpt.
The committee record in this transcript excerpt ends with several bills passed out of committee and others tabled; sponsors were named to carry the passed bills to the next stage.
