Committee Approves SR9 (Arts Council) and HB24 (Kindergarten/Enrollment cleanup) by Voice Vote
Summary
After hearings on HB252 and HB262, the Education committee moved two short items: SR9 (confirming governor's appointments to the Montana Arts Council) and HB24 (technical changes on kindergarten/enrollment) passed the committee by voice vote, including proxies; HB158 was deferred for fiscal review.
After hearings on two substantive bills, the committee returned to shorter items. The committee moved Senate Resolution 9 (SR9) — confirming the governor’s nominees to the Montana Arts Council — and House Bill 24 (technical cleanups related to kindergarten and enrollment) by voice vote. Committee members recorded the aye vote (including proxy votes for members absent); leadership said the measures passed the committee and carriers were named for floor transmittal.
SR9 and HB24: Both measures were approved on voice votes with committee leadership describing the actions as unanimous with proxies recorded for members not present. Committee members also acknowledged House Bill 158 (teacher retirement/fiscal matters) may require further discussion because of fiscal implications and was held for later consideration.
Outcome: SR9 — do pass (voice vote, unanimous including proxies). HB24 — do pass (voice vote, unanimous including proxies). HB158 deferred pending fiscal review.
