House clears bill to streamline agency reporting to interim committees
Summary
HB 40, passed 74-0, would reduce duplicate reporting by removing or consolidating reports to some interim and standing committees; sponsor said the measure improves committee efficiency.
Representative Last moved to uncircle House Bill 40. The sponsor said HB 40 resulted from interim committee review and seeks to reduce redundant reports by identifying which written or oral reports should continue to come to which committees. "We didn't feel it was necessary to do both," the sponsor said of duplicate reports, and described the bill as an efficiency measure for committees that already receive similar information elsewhere.
There was no substantive debate; summation was waived. Voting opened and closed: HB 40 passed the House 74-0 and was referred to the Senate for consideration.
Next step: HB 40 will be introduced to the Senate and assigned to the appropriate committee for further consideration.
