House records committee referrals, introduces community corrections budget bill
Summary
The House heard multiple committee reports and conference committee findings, referred several bills to appropriations and finance, introduced House Bill 14 23 requiring a Department of Public Safety community corrections budget submission, and adjourned; the transcript records two different adjournment dates.
The House convened and recorded a series of committee reports and bill actions before adjourning.
Clerk: The session opened with the presiding officer calling the chamber to order: "The house will come back to order." The clerk then read committee reports of reference from standing committees. The Committee on Health and Human Services recommended that Senate Bill 6 be referred favorably to the Committee on Appropriations and that Senate Bill 140 be postponed indefinitely. The Committee on Judiciary reported House Bill 12 36 "paid mandate" as filed, recommended Senate Bill 5 be referred to Appropriations with a favorable recommendation, and recommended that House Bill 10 37 be postponed indefinitely.
Nut graf: The House acted largely on procedural and referral business: multiple conference committee reports were announced and slated to be printed in the House journal, two introduced bills were assigned to key fiscal committees, and a motion to adjourn ended the brief session.
The clerk read several conference committee reports. The first reports of the first conference committee were announced for House Bills 13 57, 13 80, 13 99, 14 05, 14 09 and 14 12; in each case the clerk stated the committee report "will be printed in the journal." A subsequent printing report and notice of delivery of bills to the governor were also entered into the record.
Introductions and referrals: The clerk introduced House Bill 14 23, listed as sponsored by Representatives Brown and Tigard and Senators Zama Blaine Bridges, and described it as a measure "concerning requiring the Department of Public Safety to submit a community corrections budget and its annual budget request." The clerk said House Bill 14 23 was assigned to the Committee on Appropriations. The clerk also introduced Senate Bill 117, attributed to Senators Bridges and Amabile and Representatives Mabile and Soper, concerning permissible methods for the sale of lottery tickets; the clerk assigned that bill to the Committee on Finance.
Motion and adjournment: Representative Martinez then rose, said "Thank you, madam speaker," and moved that "the house stand in adjournment until Friday, April 24 at 9AM." The clerk recorded that "The house is adjourned until tomorrow, April 20 fourth at 9AM." The transcript contains both adjournment dates; no roll-call vote or objection is recorded in the provided text.
What this means: The session’s substantive action in the provided transcript was mainly procedural—referrals and printing of conference reports—while House Bill 14 23 (community corrections budget reporting) was the most specific policy proposal announced and was sent to the appropriations committee for further consideration. The transcript does not record committee debate, amendments, or a final vote on the bills mentioned.
Next steps: House Bill 14 23 will be considered in the Committee on Appropriations; Senate Bill 117 will proceed to the Committee on Finance. The record shows conference committee reports to be printed in the journal; no further dates for committee hearings or floor debate are recorded in the provided text.
