House Energy and Digital Infrastructure committee pauses to confirm H 527 draft version

The House Energy and Digital Infrastructure Committee convened Tuesday, Feb. 10, to consider H 527 but paused after members noted a discrepancy in the posted draft version and took a five-minute break to confirm the correct document was available, an unidentified committee member said.

"We are here for our committee discussion and vote on h 5 27," Unidentified Speaker 1 said as the session began. The speaker identified the draft in use as "draft 4.1 dated February 6 at 08:44AM," and relayed that a participant named Ellen said the update was labeled 5.1.

Committee members discussed the version labeling and whether any substantive changes existed between the two files. According to the committee's exchange, Ellen said there was "no difference in the documents" between 4.1 and 5.1. Members asked for a short pause while staff verified the posted file so everyone would have the same version before any formal vote.

"Why don't we take a 5 minute break and regroup? I wanna make sure that the correct version is posted and that everybody has that," Unidentified Speaker 1 said, then paused the meeting. No motions or votes on H 527 were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.

The committee recessed for five minutes to let staff confirm the posted draft and planned to resume consideration of H 527 once the correct document was confirmed.
