Committee does not recommend 1148 relating to Fish and Game Commission
Summary
The committee voted to not recommend bill 1148, which concerns the Fish and Game Commission. Members described the vote as a technicality and noted future legislation could still be filed by others.
Representative Jonathan Smith moved that bill 1148, concerning the Fish and Game Commission, be not recommended for future legislation. Representative Mike Ouellette seconded the motion.
During brief discussion one member asked why the committee votes on the matter if future legislation could still be brought forward; a participant described the vote as a "technicality." The clerk completed a roll call and the committee’s report will reflect that 1148 is not recommended for future legislation.
Why it matters: The committee’s decision records the committee’s current view after interim study, but does not prevent other legislators from filing related measures in the future.
Next steps: The committee will note in its report that 1148 is not recommended; the transcript records no final drafting instructions or fiscal detail for this bill.
