Chair Senator Merrick opened the committee's third hearing on HB26 and noted Representative Mina was not in attendance; Claire Wernicke, staff to Representative Mina, told the committee she had "no opening comments, but I am happy to answer questions," and that Representative Mina sends her regrets because she was attending a House Transportation meeting.
Vice Chair moved that House Bill 26 (version details stated on the record) be reported from committee with individual recommendations and an accompanying fiscal note and authorized Legislative Legal Services to make informing changes. The motion drew no objection and the chair announced the bill "is moved from committee." Paperwork was signed before the committee resumed business.
The committee did not amend the bill on the floor of this meeting and did not take a roll-call vote; the motion carried by unanimous consent (no objection). The committee record notes this was the bill's third hearing.
The committee recessed briefly to complete paperwork and then took up other agenda items. No further substantive debate on HB26 occurred at this session.
