Summary

The House Special Committee on Fisheries postponed a committee substitute for House Bill 253 because the substitute was not finalized, then adjourned at 10:32 a.m.; no votes were taken and the bill was rolled to the committee’s next fisheries calendar date.

The House Special Committee on Fisheries met March 3 (year not specified in the transcript) and postponed consideration of a committee substitute for House Bill 253 after the chair said the substitute was not finalized. The chair announced the committee would "roll that bill to the next fisheries calendar date."

The chair confirmed a quorum and read a list of members present, including Speaker Edgemond and Representatives Himshuh, Kopp, McCabe, Elam and Vance, and the chair’s "soft chair" Stutes. The chair also identified committee staff in the room, including Jane Pearson, the fisheries committee aide; Andrew, the committee secretary; and Kyla Tupo from Juno LIO (as transcribed).

The chair told members that the CS on HB 253 "hasn't been quite fine tuned" and, rather than hold the scheduled hearing, the committee would move the bill to a later fisheries calendar date. No motion, vote tally, mover or seconder was recorded in the transcript.

With no further business on the agenda, the chair adjourned the meeting at 10:32 a.m. The committee did not take formal action on any other bills or items during this meeting.
