Chairman Mandeville opened the Senate Local Government committee, called the role and confirmed a quorum. Committee staff instructed witnesses to sign in and to state and spell their names for the record when testifying.
Senate Local Government committee held a hearing on four House bills covering municipal noticing rules (HB 394), audio/video posting requirements for towns (HB 393), county authority to terminate citizen-initiated zoning districts (HB 614), and municipal authority to regulate camping/storing on municipal property (HB 208). Testimony included municipal clerks, planners, county commissioners, multiple citizens, and statewide associations; HB 614 drew extended public opposition over property-rights and public‑process concerns.
