Local Government Committee unanimously advances three bills in executive action
Summary
The Local Government Committee approved executive action on House Bills 34, 40 and 37 by voice vote, recording several aye-by-proxy votes; the committee closed EAs on each bill without extended debate.
The Local Government Committee voted unanimously to advance three measures during executive action.
Vice Chair Springer moved that House Bill 34 “do pass,” and Chair Brewster conducted a voice vote; the chair declared the motion approved and closed executive action on the bill. Representative Seekins Crowe and Senator Fitzpatrick were recorded as voting aye by proxy during the roll call announcements.
The committee then opened executive action on House Bill 40, described by a reader as “an act providing for a special revenue account for review of public water supply or public sewage system plans and specifications.” Vice Chair Springer moved passage; the committee approved the motion by voice vote, again recording aye votes by proxy for members who were not present, and closed executive action.
House Bill 37, titled in the reading as revising local government preliminary budget requirements to include prior budget year tax amounts and current-year estimated tax amounts, was likewise moved by Vice Chair Springer and approved by voice vote with proxies noted.
No amendments or extended debate were recorded on these three agenda items. The chair closed each executive action after the voice votes. The committee proceeded to a public hearing on another item and adjourned later in the session.
