Committee advances three bills after executive session and votes
Summary
The Committee on Government Efficiency held an executive session, reconsidered and advanced multiple committee substitutes — including House Bills 2330, 22 91 and 23 36 — recording roll-call votes that moved the measures out of committee for further floor action.
The Committee on Government Efficiency met in executive session and voted to advance several committee substitutes to the full House.
Chair Hausman presided as Representative Knight moved to reconsider the committee27s prior "do pass" vote on the House committee substitute for House Bill 2330, and the committee recorded a roll-call reconsideration. The clerk announced the result as "18 ayes and 1 no," which the chair confirmed as a successful reconsideration and subsequent do-pass vote for the substitute.
The committee later considered House Bill 22 91, including a technical amendment offered by Representative Boico to clarify when municipal building codes and inspections apply to permit requests. Boico described the change as intended to reassure municipalities and preserve the bill27s intent; several members pressed for mechanical clarity. Boico withdrew the amendment after discussion, and the committee voted the substitute "do pass" on a roll-call of 13 ayes and 6 noes.
Members then debated House Bill 23 36, a bill that would convey surplus state property (including parcels associated with schools and parcels that staff said might have title defects or current MoDOT occupancy). Representative Nolte and other members discussed unclear title chains and whether properties were vacant. The committee adopted a house committee substitute by voice and later voted the substitute do pass on a roll call announced as 18 yes, 0 no, 1 present.
The votes send the committee substitutes to the next stage of the legislative process; no floor action occurred during the session recorded in this hearing.
What happens next: Each bill moves toward floor consideration under the House calendar. The committee record shows the formal outcomes and the specific vote tallies noted above.
