The Senate Committee on Government Organization on voice votes reported 13 House bills to the full Senate, advancing a range of measures across occupational licensing, cybersecurity, local government finance and administrative procedure.
Bills the committee reported included: House Bill 50-63 (permits county commissioners to serve as voting members on convention and visitors bureau boards); HB 50-87 (establishes an interstate cosmetology licensure compact and authorizes background checks); HB 47-93 (strike-and-insert combining cosmetology/apprenticeship changes adopted as amended); HB 56-38 (clarifies CISO duties, annual cybersecurity program reviews, and contract protections requested by the Department of Administration); HB 4,483 (changes to the Board of Funeral Examiners and apprenticeship requirements); HB 56-53 (expands nondisclosure protections for audit manuals and algorithms at the Department of Revenue); HB 4,452 (repealer removing acreage limits on church ownership); HB 48-01 (allows certain uses of hotel-occupancy funds for demolition and public-property improvement up to a 50% limit); HB 56-22 (expedited procedure to conform municipal elections to statewide schedules); HB 45-46 (permits biannual reporting for business entities with fee adjustments); HB 56-13 (telematics for fleet management); HB 53-23 (allows DNR to index license and stamp fees); and HB 48-19 (modifies use of criminal records in licensure decisions for certain boards/occupations).
Most items were explained by committee counsel, received limited floor discussion in committee and were advanced by motions from the vice chair and adopted by voice vote. Where the transcript records specific amendments (notably HB 47-93), the committee adopted them before reporting the bill. The transcript records committee outcomes by voice vote; no roll-call tallies appear in the hearing transcript for committee votes.
Each bill will be placed on the Senate calendar for further floor consideration and possible amendment or debate in the full Senate.
