Votes and actions at a glance: committee reports three bills
Summary
The committee adopted amendments and reported three bills: HB 1049 (adds water utility language and folds in two senate measures), HB 1305 (municipal energy oversight, bill to be refined), and the Metro Jackson Water Authority Act (reported after sponsor agreed to clarify drafting issues).
The committee took voice votes and reported three bills:
• House Bill 1049 — Committee adopted strike-off and reported the committee substitute as amended (bill inserts two senate measures and adds water utility language).
• House Bill 1305 — Committee voted to report the bill; sponsor described it as a reverse-repealer and said more drafting is needed to avoid unnecessary PSC audits.
• Metro Jackson Water Authority Act — Committee adopted a strike-for-all amendment and reported the bill after the sponsor agreed to correct a drafting error on the effective date and to clarify statutory capture language; the sponsor emphasized the bill's bonding powers and board appointment scheme.
