Committee backs bill requiring live streaming and archiving of Natural Resources Commission meetings
The House Committee on Natural Resources and Tourism adopted an H‑1 substitute to House Bill 4822, which requires live streaming and archiving of Natural Resources Commission meetings and explicitly does not mandate video conferencing.

Representative Jerry Fairbairn, sponsor of HB 4822, said the substitute “clarifies that the requirements of the bill are for live streaming, and archiving of the recordings, and not for video conferencing.” The committee adopted the substitute; the clerk announced the roll-call as 14 yays, 0 nays and 1 pass (one member recorded a pass).

Tim Golding and Sunny Cook of Americans for Prosperity were listed as supporting the bill. Representative Fairbairn moved to report HB 4822 as H‑1; the clerk later recorded 15 yays, 0 nays and 0 passes and the motion prevailed. No public-comment cards were submitted for this bill at the hearing.
