Committee rolls House Bill 905 to special calendar for further stakeholder talks
Summary
The committee moved HB 905 — with amendment 006074 traveling with it — to the special calendar so proponents and opponents can seek agreement on language before sine die; sponsors said they'll park the bill if stakeholders cannot reach a compromise.
House Bill 905 was presented to the Commerce committee along with an accompanying amendment (006074). Sponsor Kevin Vaughn asked the committee to "roll this bill to the special calendar" so authors and stakeholders could continue discussions while the legislature is in session.
Vaughn said the bill stems from language passed with the "Elvis act" (as spoken in the record) and that stakeholders have approached the committee seeking adjustments. He told the committee: "If these people who are the protagonist and antagonist in this issue can't get together and find some language that that everybody can agree on, then we're gonna let the matter lie." The committee voted to roll the bill to the special calendar by voice vote.
The transcript records the motion and assent but does not provide the name of the member who moved or seconded the motion, nor a roll-call tally. The committee indicated the bill will return to the calendar and rules (or be parked) depending on stakeholder progress.
