Chair opens the Environment, Energy and Technology Committee and asks for a motion to waive the five‑day notice rule so several House bills can be heard today. An unidentified senator (thanked as Senator Dhingra) moves to waive; motion carries after an 'aye' voice vote. Committee proceeds to House bills.
