House Higher Education committee revises and approves multiple minutes after attendance corrections
Summary
The committee reconsidered and approved several sets of minutes after correcting member attendance for multiple dates; motions to approve minutes passed by voice vote.
The House Higher Education Finance and Policy Committee reconsidered and approved several sets of committee minutes after correcting attendance records for Representative Scott on multiple dates.
The committee first approved the March 25 minutes after a motion from Representative Scott. It then approved minutes from the Joint Committee on Regents (March 18) following a separate motion from Representative Scott. Later, staff identified multiple minutes that omitted Representative Cleburne (and incorrectly listed Representative Bliss); the committee moved to reconsider previously adopted minutes and approved a corrected packet.
Key actions recorded in the hearing record:
- Representative Scott moved to approve the March 25 minutes; the committee approved the minutes by voice vote (motion recorded in hearing transcript).
- Representative Scott moved to approve the March 18 joint committee minutes; the committee approved those minutes by voice vote.
- Representative Allen moved to reconsider approval of minutes from February 25, February 27, March 11, March 13 and March 20; the motion to reconsider was seconded and adopted, and the committee subsequently adopted corrected minutes as presented in the packet by voice vote.
Committee staff indicated they reviewed video evidence to confirm attendance for the relevant dates and will substitute revised, corrected minutes into the record as needed.
