Assembly Natural Resources committee clears consent calendar including multiple coastal and water measures
Summary
The committee advanced a consent package that included multiple resolutions and bills on coastal and natural-resources matters, moving the items forward without individual debate. The chair noted one absent member before starting as a subcommittee to establish quorum.
The Assembly Natural Resources and Water Committee advanced its consent calendar and several measures Tuesday, moving a set of coastal and natural-resources items to the next step in the legislative process.
Chair opened the hearing and noted Assembly Member Al Marisucci was absent. The chair then listed the consent items — including ACR 157 and multiple Senate bills — and the committee proceeded while waiting for a quorum. After the secretary called the roll, the committee recorded sufficient votes and the consent calendar was ordered out.
The consent action bundles routine or noncontroversial measures to streamline committee business. Committee members cast roll-call votes recorded by the secretary; the transcript records the committee's verbal aYes and noes and the chair announced the consent calendar "is out." The hearing then proceeded to other items on the agenda.
