Senate Local Government committee concurs on a package of House bills and confirms a gubernatorial appointee
Summary
After the hearings the committee took executive action: it passed Senate Resolution 48 and concurred in a series of House bills (including HB 162, HB 208, HB 318, HB 333, HB 393, HB 394, HB 523, HB 534, HB 561, HB 614, HB 621 and HB 742), sometimes adopting amendments; one roll-call recorded 7–4 on HB 333.
The Senate Local Government Committee moved from hearings into executive action and approved a slate of measures by voice vote and roll calls.
Senate Resolution 48 (confirmation of a governor’s appointee to the Board of Real Estate Appraisers) was moved and passed by the committee.
The committee took up and concurred in House Bill 162 (revising the definition of infrastructure for a resort tax), adopting a coordination amendment to align workforce and community housing language, then concurred on the amended bill.
Other concurrence actions taken by the committee included House Bill 208 (authority for municipalities to control unauthorized occupancy of municipal property), House Bill 318 (local land-use coordination and appeals language; two amendments adopted), and House Bill 333 (revising local law enforcement laws), which passed on roll-call 7 yes, 4 no.
The committee also concurred in House Bill 393 (town recording requirement), House Bill 394 (public notice revisions, amended), House Bill 523 (abandoned graveyard lot process), House Bill 534 (allowing county water and sewer districts to connect to systems beyond capacity; roll-call result recorded as 8 yes, 3 no), House Bill 561 (repealing county licensing of itinerant vendors), House Bill 614 (terminating certain county zoning districts), House Bill 621 (peer support for local first-response entities, amended with coordination instructions), and House Bill 742 (nuisance compliance revisions with friendly amendment).
Where committees adopted amendments, staff explained the changes on the floor (for example coordination instructions to align overlapping bills and minor clarifying language). Several bills passed by voice vote; a small number required a roll-call with recorded tallies as noted above.
Ending
After completing executive action the committee adjourned and scheduled further business for the next meeting.
