Committee adopts substitute for HB 2,765 and advances HB 2,848 in executive session
Summary
In executive session the House Judiciary Committee adopted a House Committee substitute for HB 2,765 and voted the substitute 'do pass' (10–0); the committee also voted House Bill 2,848 'do pass' (9–0).
The committee met in executive session to consider two bills before moving to the public‑hearing agenda. Members adopted a House Committee substitute for House Bill 2,765 by voice vote and then recorded a roll‑call vote of 10 ayes and 0 nos on the substitute, advancing the bill with the committee’s recommendation.
The committee next moved House Bill 2,848 (an offense‑definition bill relating to mass intimidation, presented earlier by Representative Dolan) and recorded a roll‑call vote of 9 ayes and 0 nos, advancing that bill as well.
During the HB 2,765 discussion the sponsor explained technical amendments including retail licensing fee structure (application fee set at $250 per location rather than an aggregate $5,000 cap), renewal fees equal to initial license fees, registration requirements for hemp beverage products, and revised delivery‑service language aligned with alcohol and tobacco regulation.
The committee did not take roll‑call votes on the public‑hearing bills during this session.
