Senator asks committee to reschedule informational hearing on HB 4018 after cancellation
Summary
A senator raised concerns about the cancellation of an informational hearing on House Bill 4018 (related to campaign finance implementation changes); a point of order questioned whether the meeting had been properly adjourned and the chair said the informational hearing will be rescheduled.
After committee business on Feb. 18 concluded, a senator (speaker 8) told the panel they had received calls about the cancellation of an informational hearing on House Bill 4018, which the speaker said is framed as changes to campaign finance implementation. The senator said the bill's rapid movement raised concerns about public trust and asked the chair to reschedule the informational hearing.
A point of order was raised (speaker 10) asking under what authority the meeting had been adjourned, noting the public hearing had already been closed. The chair said the cancellation related to a parliamentary question and that the committee planned to reschedule the informational hearing. The chair closed the committee meeting after that exchange.
This exchange recorded concern among a senator and a parliamentary inquiry; no formal committee action on HB 4018 was recorded in this transcript.
