Committee votes 9-0 to favorably report House Bill 244
Summary
The House General Government Committee voted unanimously, 9–0, to favorably report House Bill 244 out of committee after moving to recommend passage; no public testimony was received during the third hearing.
The House General Government Committee voted 9–0 to favorably report House Bill 244 after the committee considered the measure in its third hearing and received no public testimony. Vice Chair LaRae moved to "favorably report House Bill 244 and recommend its passage," and the clerk's roll call produced nine affirmative votes and zero negatives.
Committee Chair Ray told members the roll would remain open until 6 p.m. for anyone who wished to sign or add a cosponsor; members who wanted to be added were asked to mark a star beside their name. The committee’s action was procedural: the motion to report the bill passed and the measure was advanced from committee for further consideration.
The committee’s unanimous vote does not by itself enact the bill; it sends HB244 to the next step in the legislative process where additional floor consideration and votes may occur.
The committee concluded the third hearing for HB244 and moved on to other agenda items.
