Committee approves originating bill to create school finance transparency commission
Summary
An originating bill would create a School Finance Transparency Commission, require a report by year-end, specify membership and require Department of Education support; the committee reported the originating bill to the full Senate with a recommendation that it pass.
Committee counsel explained an originating bill (referenced in the transcript as affecting sections 18 9 7 a and 7 b) to create a School Finance Transparency Commission. Counsel said the bill sets the commission's membership, directs the Department of Education to provide support and information as requested, requires a report by the end of the year, and establishes a termination date for the commission.
Because the measure was introduced as an originating bill, the chair instructed members who did not wish their names on the bill to notify the clerk. Vice Chair moved to report the originating bill to the full Senate with a recommendation that it pass, and the committee approved the motion by voice vote. The transcript does not show a roll-call tally.
