Senate Committee Adopts Technical Amendment and Advances House Bill 1183
Summary
The City, County & Local Affairs Committee adopted a technical amendment to House Bill 1183 that reverts 'individuals' to 'persons' and replaces a single statutory cross-reference with explicit fee sections; the committee then voted to pass the bill as amended.
The Senate City, County & Local Affairs Committee adopted an amendment to House Bill 1183 and advanced the measure. The amendment restores the word "persons" in place of "individuals" and replaces an umbrella statutory cross-reference with explicit code sections that set out fee provisions.
The amendment sponsor said the changes are a cleanup that do not alter the bill’s substance. "It didn't change the bill in substance, but it made the bill a little cleaner," the presenter said, explaining the amendment removes an indirect cross-reference (21-6-101 in the transcript) and lists the specific sections instead.
Senator Stephanie Flowers asked whether the referenced provision related to fee schedules for recording documents; the sponsor confirmed the amendment inserts the explicit sections that set out those fees. Senator Flowers moved to adopt the amendment; the committee approved it by voice vote. The committee then moved to pass HB1183 as amended. A motion to "do pass as amended" was seconded by Senator Sullivan and approved, and the committee proceeded to the next agenda item.
No public testimony was recorded on the measure during this meeting. The record shows the committee treated the changes as technical clarifications rather than policy shifts.
The committee moved on to consider other bills after advancing HB1183.
