Summary
The House General Government Committee adopted a PFAS-focused substitute for HB 272 and approved an amendment to HCR 19; it also favorably reported HB 396 by roll call (9-0). Other bills were taken up for hearings but not voted on.
The House General Government Committee recorded three formal actions during the session:
- Substitute adopted for House Bill 272: Vice Chair LaRae moved to adopt substitute bill L1360601-5, which the vice chair said narrows the bill to focus on PFAS and removes provisions related to fluoride, food additives and cloud seeding. The chair called for objections and, seeing none, declared the substitute adopted and concluded HB 272’s second hearing.
- Amendment adopted for House Concurrent Resolution 19: Vice Chair LaRae moved to adopt amendment AM1361820, which removes language calling on the U.S. Congress to support a constitutional amendment affirming states’ authority over election processes. The chair called for objections; seeing none, the amendment was adopted and HCR 19’s third hearing concluded.
- HB 396 favorably reported: Vice Chair LaRae moved to favorably report House Bill 396 and recommend its passage. The clerk called the roll; the committee recorded 9 affirmative votes and 0 negative votes and the bill was favorably reported. The roll will be left open for one hour after the committee adjourned for members to sign on as cosponsors.
Other bills received hearings but no formal committee votes at this meeting: HB 577 (first hearing) and HB 609 (second hearing, proponent testimony).
