State Planning & Community Affairs committee adopts rules, 8-3
Summary
The committee voted to adopt its proposed rules by an 8-3 margin after brief discussion. Vice Chair Pat Marce Ston explained her vote in favor of retaining a lower quorum to avoid scheduling delays.
The State Planning & Community Affairs committee voted to adopt its proposed committee rules after Chair Karen Mac entertained a motion to "do pass" and members seconded the motion. The chair announced, "it passes 8 to3," and the rules were adopted.
After the vote, Vice Chair Pat Marce Ston explained her reasoning for supporting the lower five-member quorum, saying the legislative calendar often forces simultaneous committee meetings and that delaying to assemble larger quorums can impede work. She told members that experience had led her to favor the smaller quorum to keep committee business moving.
