Committee adopts amendment and reports favorably on background-check system bill (Aaliyah)
Summary
HP 100, a bill to establish an in-state background-check and 'wrap-back' reporting system (referred to as Aaliyah/Aliyah), had a technical amendment adopted and was given a favorable report; the amendment clarifies rulemaking authority and an annual fee cap reading as 'not to exceed 12' as read in committee.
Representative Brignard presented HP 100 (referred to in committee as Aaliyah or Aliyah), describing it as a carryover from last year that would establish a background-check recordkeeping and wrap-back service to notify participating entities of subsequent events following an initial background check. The sponsor said the bill had passed the House unanimously last year and includes technical edits and an amendment to clarify rulemaking authority and fee language.
Representative England offered a technical amendment that replaced several lines to clarify that the Aaliyah entity may adopt rules governing operation, may assess an annual fee "not to exceed 12" (the transcript reads the numeric cap but does not specify units), and may establish an in-state wrap-back service. The committee adopted the amendment and then voted to give the bill a favorable report as amended.
The transcript records no fiscal note, specific fee unit (dollars not specified), or implementation timeline; members characterized the changes as largely technical.
