Committee executive actions: HB395 passes; HB402 tabled; HB406 amended and passed
Summary
The House State Administration committee passed House Bill 395 on a roll-call vote, failed to pass HB402 (then tabled it by substitute motion), and amended and advanced HB406 by voice vote; the committee recorded specific roll-call tallies for HB395 and HB402.
The House State Administration Committee completed executive action on several house bills after hearings earlier in the day.
House Bill 395 (clarifying voting rights for some individuals declared of unsound mind in state hospital settings) passed by roll call. The committee recorded 11 aye and 8 no votes and announced the measure as passed.
House Bill 402 (proposed move of the Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center to Wolf Point) failed a roll-call vote (8 aye, 11 no) and was then the subject of a substitute motion to table; the substitute motion carried and HB402 was tabled.
House Bill 406 (changes to school election filing deadlines) was amended on the floor of the committee (two amendments adjusting days and alignment language) and, after proxy and voice votes, the twice-amended bill was given a due-pass recommendation.
Committee members debated financial-accountability questions about HB402 and sought additional information from staff on bookkeeping and records; committee staff said they would follow up on requests for financial documents where appropriate.
