Committee reconsiders then reaffirms 'ought not to pass' on career‑tech funding bill LD 2014
Summary
The Education and Cultural Affairs Committee unanimously voted to reconsider LD 2014 and, after reconsideration, adopted a motion that the bill 'ought not to pass' by the members present. The action reopens and re‑records votes taken earlier this week.
The Joint Standing Committee on Education and Cultural Affairs opened with a procedural motion to reconsider LD 20‑14, legislation to update the funding method for career and technical education programs.
Representative Sheila Lyman moved to reconsider the measure, saying the committee should "take relook at LD 2014"; the motion was seconded and the committee signaled unanimous support to reopen the item for additional consideration. Chair Jill Rafferty directed the clerk to record the reconsideration vote and noted the prior recorded outcome had been 9–1 'Ought not to pass.'
After taking up the reopened item in committee, Lyman moved that the committee vote that LD 20‑14 "ought not to pass." The motion was seconded and the committee voted in favor; the chair announced a 7–0 tally among members present on the renewed motion.
The votes were procedural actions to re‑examine a recently decided bill; no new amendments or debate on substantive funding formulas were recorded in the transcript. The committee moved on to scheduled public hearings after completing the recorded reconsideration and subsequent vote.
The committee did not take further substantive action on LD 20‑14 during the remainder of this session.
