Summary

In a work session on LD292 (part of right-to-repair discussions), the committee voted unanimously to recommend the bill 'ought not to pass.' The vote was taken after a brief presentation and no extended debate.

The Joint Committee on Housing and Economic Development voted unanimously in a work session on March 13 to recommend that LD292 ‘‘ought not to pass.’’ The sponsor asked the panel to record that recommendation and a motion to that effect was made and seconded.

The clerk conducted a roll-call vote and recorded unanimous support for the motion among members present. After the vote Sen. Chip Curry closed the LD292 work session.

Why it matters: LD292 was submitted as part of the broader right-to-repair package the committee has considered. The committee’s recommendation against the bill means it is not likely to advance from this committee in its current form unless reworked.

What’s next: The committee proceeded to other bills on its agenda, including a presentation and work sessions on bills addressing the blue economy and industrialized housing.
