Committee defers vote on $300,000 legislative‑operations pilot, asks for auditor and NCSL input
Summary
The committee briefly reviewed a proposed pilot administered by the Joint Fiscal Office and directed by the Joint Fiscal Committee, budgeted at about $300,000; several senators said they want input from the state auditor and the National Conference of State Legislatures before approving the measure.
Committee members turned to an item on page 67 proposing a pilot to be administered by the Joint Fiscal Office with direction from the Joint Fiscal Committee and a proposed budget of roughly $300,000.
A committee member cited the $300,000 figure and several members signaled concern about the proposal's current structure, saying they would prefer to hear from the state auditor and representatives from the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) before moving the proposal forward. One member said they were inclined to vote "no" on the pilot as written and asked staff to schedule auditor and NCSL testimony to explore how the pilot could be made more feasible and accountable.
The item was not advanced; the chair called a short recess to allow members to consult and to arrange follow‑up briefings.
