Committee approves seven bills in executive action; HB 39 passes on roll call 11‑8
Summary
In executive action the House State Administration Committee advanced seven bills — HB 33 (as amended), HB 39 (11‑8 roll call), HB 47, HB 54, HB 61, HB 62 and HB 63 — and adopted an amendment to HB 33; the measures will go to the House floor.
The House State Administration Committee conducted executive action on several bills it previously heard. Vice Chair Bertoglio moved that House Bill 33 do pass and Representative Schubert offered amendment HB0033.0001.0001.0001 (clarifying that agencies may segregate parts of petitions outside their jurisdiction rather than dismissing entire petitions and requiring contact information in dismissal letters); the amendment passed on voice vote and HB 33 passed as amended.
House Bill 39 (repeal of the prohibition on political parties contributing to judicial candidates) was approved on a roll‑call vote: 11 yeas and 8 nays. Committee members debated concerns about campaign money’s effect on public confidence in the judiciary; proponents argued the change increases transparency by allowing contributions to be reported directly.
House Bills 47, 54, 61, 62 and 63 were passed by voice vote or proxy during the executive session and will move to the House floor. Proxies were used where members were absent; the transcript records Representative Running Wolf voting by proxy on several measures. The committee recessed after finishing executive actions and adjourned for the day.
