Summary
The Senate Local Government Committee recommended the governor's appointment of Abby DeHart to the Public Works Commission, favorably reported Senate Bill 278 to Rules and Reference, and adopted Amendment 1785 to Amended House Bill 397; no votes were taken on Substitute Senate Bill 118 or Senate Bill 340 during this session.
During the session the Senate Local Government Committee took several formal actions:
Abby DeHart: The committee recommended the governor's appointment of Abby DeHart as director of the Public Works Commission and moved the appointment to the Committee on Rules and Reference. Vice Chair Gavarone moved the favorable report and the chair stated there were sufficient votes.
Senate Bill 278: With no oral testimony received, Vice Chair Gavarone moved to favorably report Senate Bill 278 to the Committee on Rules and Reference; the clerk called the roll and the chair announced the bill was reported to rules and reference. The committee left the role open until the end of the day.
Amended House Bill 397 — Amendment 1785: Vice Chair Gavarone moved to amend Amended House Bill 397 with Amendment 1785, which specifies that records pertaining to the use of a jail commissary fund are public records subject to disclosure under existing public-records law. Hearing no objection, the amendment became part of the bill.
No final votes were taken on Substitute Senate Bill 118 (the committee held a fifth hearing and recorded additional written testimony) or on Senate Bill 340 (the item stood as a third hearing after multiple witnesses testified).
