Summary

After regaining a quorum the Fish and Game Committee amended House Bill 106 (shooting preserve law revisions) to change signage spacing to one quarter mile, require at least two signs per preserve and adjust fees; the amendment passed by voice vote (proxies recorded) and the committee concurred as amended to send the bill to the floor.

The Senate Fish and Game Committee returned to an executive action (EA) on House Bill 106 after regaining a quorum. An unidentified senator moved to amend HB 106 (H.B.106.001) to revise shooting preserve requirements, including changing signage spacing from every 250 feet to approximately one quarter mile and ensuring each preserve posts a minimum of two signs regardless of size. The amendment also adjusts fees and other technical items in the bill text.

The committee conducted a voice vote on the amendment. The chair recorded proxies and several senators were recorded voting "aye" by proxy; no opposition was recorded on the voice vote. The amendment passed. Following the amendment, the committee voted to concur with House Bill 106 as amended. The concurrence passed on a voice vote with proxies recorded and the chair said the bill would move on to the floor.

The committee adjourned after noting the day’s business was complete and reminding members of an upcoming wolf‑related bill hearing scheduled for Thursday.

Next steps: HB 106 will be carried to the Senate floor as a concurred bill; the committee's amendment will appear in the bill text as adopted.
