Senate Local Government: quick results from executive action — SB5, SB10, SB32 and SB102
Summary
After hearings the committee took executive action: SB5 and SB10 passed the committee by voice vote (proxies recorded); SB32 was amended (amendment 001 adopted) and the committee requested a revised fiscal note before further action; SB102 failed on a roll call and was then tabled.
The Senate Local Government committee completed executive action on several bills after hearings.
- Senate Bill 5: Vice Chair Becky Beard moved SB5 do pass. Staff summarized the bill as adjusting compensation for county tax appeal board members for specified work durations. The committee approved SB5 by voice vote, with proxies recorded in the minutes; the chair announced "Senate Bill 5 has passed Senate Local Government."
- Senate Bill 10: Vice Chair Beard moved SB10 do pass; staff said the measure extends timelines related to inspection and recommendation for emergency projects when the governor declares an emergency. The committee approved SB10 by voice vote and the chair announced the bill passed.
- Senate Bill 32: Committee adopted amendment 001 (rate adjustments and statutory restorations) on a roll-call vote of 7 yes / 4 no. A second amendment (003), intended to restore prior local-mill language (15-10-420), failed 4–7. Because members expressed concern about fiscal and local impacts, the committee voted to request a revised fiscal note for SB32 as amended and postponed final action pending that estimate.
- Senate Bill 102: The committee debated SB102 (growth limit on education levies). On roll-call the bill did not pass, recording 5 yes and 6 no. Vice Chair Beard then moved to table SB102 and the motion was agreed to without objection.
These outcomes were set out from the committee record; several votes were voice votes with proxy statements noted and some actions proceeded to roll-call.
