Committee pauses review of H 686, a lobbyist-notification bill, for counsel and amendment review
Summary
The committee postponed detailed consideration of H 686, concerning lobbyist notification of paid advertisements, pending review of an amendment from Senator Bugofsky and counsel input; members agreed to take a 20-minute recess.
The Government Operations committee took up a brief procedural step on H 686, a bill described to the panel as expanding lobbyist notification requirements for paid advertisements, but did not move to amend or vote on the measure on May 15.
The chair told members that Senator Bugofsky had suggested an amendment and asked whether the committee wanted a short break to review the changes. Committee members agreed to recess for about 20 minutes to wait for counsel and to allow the amendment materials to be loaded for the committee's consideration.
No formal debate of H 686 or action on the amendment occurred before the recess; the committee scheduled to return at approximately "10 of 2."
