Senate Judiciary panel forwards two parole-commission appointments to the floor
Summary
The committee approved sending the gubernatorial appointments of Scott Smith and Dylan Hobson to the full Senate with recommendations for confirmation; both motions passed by voice vote with no recorded roll call.
The Senate Judiciary and Rules Committee voted to send two gubernatorial appointments to the Senate floor with recommendations for confirmation.
Senator Melissa Wintrow moved “to send the gubernatorial appointment of Scott Smith to the Commission of Pardons and Parole to the floor with recommendation that he be confirmed by the Senate,” and Senator Ricks seconded; the committee approved the motion by voice vote. Later, Senator Ruckdy moved to send the appointment of Dylan Hobson to the Commission of Pardons and Parole to the floor with the recommendation that he be confirmed; Senator Foreman seconded and the motion carried by voice vote.
Neither appointment drew extended discussion during the committee’s consideration. Committee members asked brief procedural questions (including whether the nominees were local to Boise), but took no roll-call votes and did not request further hearings. The committee’s actions send both nominations to the full Senate for consideration.
