The committee convened its first meeting of the session; the chair reviewed committee rules (reading legislation in advance, recognition by the chair, ten-speaker public hearing limits, two-minute public comment limit) and asked Clerk Wood to call the roll. Committee decorum and amendment-distribution expectations were emphasized by the chair.

Speakers:

A legislative committee held its first session, advanced two bills (SB12 and HP176) and held a public hearing on House Bill 61, a proposed constitutional amendment that would let Covington County voters ban Class VI carbon capture and underground injection wells; testimony from dozens of residents, trade groups and technical experts produced sharp disagreement and the committee referred HB61 to a subcommittee for further study.
