The Senate State Affairs Committee handled several procedural and policy items in Friday’s session:
- Minutes: The committee approved the minutes for Feb. 14 and Feb. 28 by voice vote.
- House Bill 102 (rec‑district dissolution revisions): Representative Jeff Ehlers described an alternate path for dissolving recreation districts where districts with 200% growth could use a different petition route; the committee voted to send HB102 to the 14th order for possible amendments.
- House Bill 215 (reports portal): Representative Heather Scott and Alex Penny of the Legislative Services Office presented HB215 to create a centralized portal for statutorily required reports and set default submission dates for reports lacking statutory deadlines. The committee voted to send HB215 to the floor with a due‑pass recommendation.
- House Bill 222 (posting agency rules online): Representative Scott said agencies with a digital presence would be required to post current administrative rules and policies online under HB222. The committee voted to send HB222 to the floor with a due‑pass recommendation.
All measures were advanced by voice votes, and sponsors said they expect amendments or further drafting in the amending order where noted.
