Committee takes executive action on multiple bills; several measures fail, others pass out of committee
Summary
During executive action the committee amended and then failed HB 511 and HB 830 in committee (each by 8–9 roll-call margins), passed SB 262 and SB 10 out of committee, and concurred in SB 175; votes and amendment actions were recorded in roll calls and voice votes.
The Local Government Committee moved into executive action after public hearings and took votes on several bills and amendments.
HB 511 — firefighting training facility grant program: Representative Sher moved HB 511 as introduced and an amendment (consolidation language and grant caps) was adopted by voice/proxy. The bill as amended was put to a roll call and failed in committee by an 8–9 vote tally (committee comment recorded that the bill "has failed" in committee).
HB 830 — local emergency quick response program: The committee adopted amendment package 1.2 and debated whether the program overlaps existing mitigation funds and insurance implications. HB 830 also failed a roll-call vote in committee (8 ayes, 9 nos) and was tabled after discussion.
SB 262 — exemption from environmental review for certain subdivisions: The committee considered an amendment to narrow the exemption to subdivisions within incorporated cities and towns; that amendment failed and the original concurrence motion passed on roll call (10 ayes, 7 nos), so the committee passed SB 262 out of committee.
SB 10 — inspection timelines during emergencies: The committee voted by voice/proxy to concur in SB 10; the clerk recorded 17 ayes and the bill passed out of committee.
SB 175 — county zoning procedure revisions: The committee concurred in SB 175 on voice vote and assigned a sponsor (Representative Overstreet) to carry the bill on the floor.
Votes and formal actions recorded in the transcript were taken by roll-call and voice votes with proxy votes noted in the record. Where recorded, final tallies were as noted above.
Next steps: Bills that passed out of committee move to the floor for consideration; failed bills were tabled or defeated in committee as shown by the recorded tallies.
