Senate committee concurs on four house bills in executive action
Summary
The Senate Local Government Committee voted by voice to concur on House Bills 37, 68, 144 and 159 during an executive action session; votes were taken by voice with proxies recorded and floor carriers assigned for each bill.
After hearings, the Senate Local Government Committee moved directly into executive action and took concurrence motions on four House bills.
House Bill 37 (requiring local governments’ preliminary budgets to include prior‑year tax amounts) was moved, voice‑voted and concurred in; Senator Hertz will carry the bill on the floor. House Bill 68 (authorizing county commissioners to initiate mandamus proceedings) was concurred in by voice vote with Senator Fern listed as floor carrier. House Bill 144 (revising building codes council membership laws) was concurred in after the question was called; Senator Lammers was named carrier. House Bill 159 (revising rural improvement district laws) was concurred in by voice vote and Senator Fern volunteered to carry it to the floor.
Votes were recorded as voice votes and the record notes multiple proxies (for example, Senators Bogner, Weber and others were recorded as voting 'aye by proxy' in the transcript), but the committee did not state roll‑call tallies in the hearing transcript. No motions failed and no further debate was recorded during the EA session.
