Committee Rolls Subterranean Transportation Authority Bill for One Week; Sponsor Cites Fiscal Negotiations
Summary
Representative Garrett requested and the committee agreed to roll HB 2450 for one week after discussing a fiscal note that the sponsor said had been reduced from about $5.4 million to roughly $1 million during negotiations.
Representative Garrett introduced House Bill 2450, which would create a "subterranean transportation infrastructure coordination authority" to support subterranean travel initiatives.
The sponsor told the committee the concept could be "innovative" and described an initial fiscal note of roughly $5,400,000; he said negotiations with the administration had reduced the estimate to about $1,000,000 and asked to roll the bill for one week to refine language and costs. "We've already been negotiating with the administration, we've gotten that down to around $1,000,000," the sponsor said.
Committee members agreed to the request; the chair announced the bill was rolled one week without objection. No formal vote on the substance occurred during the hearing.
