Committee approves SB 492 with amendment restoring 5-day disclosure period for business statements
Summary
The committee adopted an amendment to Senate Bill 492 that shortens a deadline back to five days and voted to concur in the bill as amended (11–8), advancing revised business disclosure requirements for elected officials and department directors.
The committee considered Senate Bill 492, which revises business disclosure statements for elected officials and department directors. Staff explained an amendment that restored a notice or response period from 10 days back to five days after consultation with the relevant office.
Rebecca Power summarized the amendment: "this puts it back to 5 days, and this was done in consultation with the COPP office," and the committee passed the amendment by voice vote after noting a proxy for a member. Vice Chair Quorum said he would oppose the final bill despite supporting disclosure principles, while other members described the change as appropriate and voted on the roll call.
On the roll call the committee recorded 11 yeas and 8 nays and concurred in SB 492 as once amended. The committee assigned a carrier to advance the bill.
