Amendment to House Bill 2,182 fails; bill taken off notice over fiscal impact
Summary
An amendment (drafting code 18,589) to House Bill 2,182 failed in the subcommittee by a 4-7 vote; Chairman White then asked to take the bill off notice because the amendment carried a fiscal impact and the memo reached members late.
House Bill 2,182, sponsored by Chairman White, was called with amendment drafting code 18,589. The committee voted on the amendment; the clerk reported 4 ayes and 7 nos, and the chair announced the amendment failed.
Committee members and the chairman discussed timing and fiscal consequences: the chair noted the amendment has a fiscal impact and at the end of session, such a fiscal measure could need to be moved behind the budget or taken off notice. Chairman White apologized that members received a memo about noon and asked the committee to take the bill off notice. Without objection, House Bill 21 82 was removed from the calendar (off notice).
The failure of the amendment and the subsequent off-notice action means the measure will not advance in this form during this calendar; sponsors may rework the proposal or wait until budgeting decisions are resolved.
