Committee concurs on House Bill 399; motion on HB 427 withdrawn after members flag ambiguities
Summary
In executive action the committee voted by voice to concur on House Bill 399; later members discussed House Bill 427 but withdrew the concurrence motion to allow time for amendments and clarifications.
During executive action the committee took up House Bill 399 and moved that it be concurred in. The chair called a voice vote and the motion passed; proxy votes were recorded for absent senators and the chair announced the bill passed unanimously.
The committee then considered House Bill 427. Multiple members raised concerns about ambiguous language, potential compensatory damages language and lack of clarity on when delay periods begin. After extended discussion committee members agreed the measure needs amendment work; the motion to concur on HB 427 was withdrawn and the bill was held for further drafting.
Chair closed executive action and adjourned the committee for the day.
