Committee approves Senate Bill 169 to preserve existing rules under new Title 37, 10-0
Summary
A legislative committee approved an amended Senate Bill 169 to make explicit that rules promulgated under the previous code continue to apply under the new Title 37. The committee took the amendment by consent and passed the bill 10-0; two members were excused.
Chairman Teschka said an amendment to Senate Bill 169 was intended to make clear that any rules promulgated under the previous code would remain in effect under the new Title 37. The panel took the amendment by consent and then voted to advance the bill, reporting a 10-0 tally.
The amendment "is, essentially, just designed to ensure that any rules that had been promulgated under the previous code would still be in effect," Chairman Teschka said, adding that case law likely points the same way but the amendment was included to remove any confusion.
A committee member moved to pass the bill as amended and another committee member seconded. The committee conducted a roll call; the transcript records affirmative responses from Representatives Andrade, Dan Chester, Hatcher, Miller, Chairman Teschka, Pierce, May, Eaton, Judy and Lauer. Representatives Cleer and Slager were recorded as excused. The transcript does not clearly record Representative Lucas's verbal response, but the chair announced the final vote was 10 to 0 in favor.
The committee adjourned after the vote.
