Capital Budget Committee reports two bills out of committee on voice votes
Summary
During an executive session the committee reported House Bill 2353 (raising predesign threshold) and the proposed substitute for House Bill 2420 (adjusting small‑works roster limits and timeline) out of committee with due‑pass recommendations; both measures were approved by voice vote and staff recorded 18 yays, 0 nay, 1 excused.
In executive session the Capital Budget Committee considered several items and took voice votes to report two measures out of committee.
On House Bill 2,353, which would raise the predesign threshold for capital construction projects from $10 million to $15 million and index that threshold annually for inflation, the chair called for a voice vote. Staff later reported the tally as 18 yays, 0 nay, 1 excused, and the bill was reported out of committee with a due‑pass recommendation.
The committee then considered a proposed substitute to House Bill 2,420 (HDash3267.2), which changes the maximum amount a public‑works contract can use the small‑works roster process from $350,000 to $530,000 and shifts the effective date from July 1, 2026 to Jan. 1, 2027. The proposed substitute was moved and seconded, discussed briefly as an efficiencies update, and approved by voice vote. Staff reported 18 yays, 0 nay, 1 excused, and the substitute was reported out with a due‑pass recommendation.
Committee members were reminded of a forthcoming hearing and executive session on Friday and asked to submit any amendments to staff by 10 a.m. the next day for publishing.
