Utilities Committee votes HB1917 "due pass" in executive session
Summary
In executive session the House Utilities Committee voted HB1917 as "due pass," 15-0 with one present. The chair said members are drafting clarifying legislation on district detachment and invited input from Representatives Taylor and Koslow.
The House Utilities Committee voted to report House Bill 1917 as "due pass" during an executive session, Chairman Brumley announced after a roll call produced 15 "ayes," 0 "nos," and 1 member recorded as "present." The chair said several committee members are working on follow-up legislation to clarify how a district detaches and invited colleagues to confer with Representatives Deb Taylor and Koslow.
Committee discussion before the vote noted prior extensive questioning of HB1917 and the need for clarifying language on detachment procedures. Chairman Brumley said the goal of the follow-up work is to make the statutory process “very, readily straightforward” if detachment occurs. No amendments or substantive debate were recorded during the executive roll call portion; the chair then closed executive session and moved the committee into the public hearing agenda.
The committee clerk conducted the roll call and the chair formally announced the outcome as the committee moved on to scheduled public hearings.
