House Bill 3748, sponsored in the Senate by Senator Rader, would allow county commissioners to use county‑owned equipment, labor and supplies on property owned by four‑year institutions. Senator Rader asked the committee for a due‑pass vote.
Committee members questioned whether the bill covers both public and private institutions; the sponsor said he would check the bill language and report back, and noted he expected the intent was to cover public institutions but agreed to confirm. No amendments were offered on the floor.
The committee approved the bill on a voice roll call recorded as eight ayes and zero nays and declared the bill passed out of committee.
The sponsor referenced the substantive language of the bill (page 6, line 24) and offered to communicate clarifying language to members if necessary.
