The committee favorably reported H3184 (raising the expungement threshold to $1,000), adjourned debate on H3176 to a later date and recommitted H3197 to subcommittee for additional hearings at stakeholders' request.

Committee members also advanced several shorter items. Mister Weeks reported H3184, which would raise the maximum-penalty threshold for crimes eligible for expungement from $500 to $1,000; the committee gave H3184 a favorable report without amendment.

On election-related business, Mister Clemens said members requested more input on H3176 and moved to adjourn debate on that bill until a later agenda; the committee approved the motion to adjourn debate. On another election measure, H3197, several individuals and groups asked for an additional subcommittee hearing; Clemens moved to recommit H3197 to subcommittee for another hearing and the committee approved the recommitment.

With those items concluded, the chair adjourned the committee's meeting.
