Committee closes public testimony and leaves multiple bills pending after hearings
Summary
Several bills—including HB 2963, HB 2467, HB 252, HB 2468, HB 4386, HB 4751, HJR 175, HB 2221 and many others—had witnesses testify and were left pending by the committee after public testimony was closed.
During the May 15 hearing the Chair repeatedly moved to close public testimony and leave bills pending after witnesses were shown on an attached list. Among the bills left pending were HB 2963 and HB 2467 (sponsors recognized and testimony noted), HB 252, HB 2468, HB 4386, HB 4751, HJR 175, HB 2221, HB 106, HB 144, HB 145, HB 5247, HB 3016, HB 1732, HB 3960, HB 3689, HB 2213, HB 2518, HB 2517 and HB 4490. In each instance the minutes state that public testimony was closed and the bill was left pending "without objection."
The minutes note sponsors or stand-ins were recognized to explain bills (for example, Senators Hall, Hughes, Parker, Hancock, Nichols, Kolkhorst, Zaffirini, Hagenbuch and Nathan Johnson were listed as sponsors or explaining in specific segments). The transcript references witness lists attached to the minutes but does not print witness statements in the committee minutes; the items remain pending for future committee action or scheduling.
