Senator Seifried presented House Bill 3711 to add disclosure about instructional expenditures in districts’ bond communications (not to change bonding authority). Senator Hicks asked whether the bill alters what districts may bond for; Seifried said no — it links bond communications to a website. The committee struck the title by unanimous consent, a motion to pass was made and seconded (mover: Senator Seifert; second: Senator Hall), and the committee passed the bill 13 ayes, 5 nays.
Rules Committee heard several bills including HB 3711 (bond transparency for instructional expenses), HB 4104 (expanded penalties for clandestine recording with an amendment raising offenses involving three or more victims), HJR 1077 (state question to move $1 billion from the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust to a new legislatively‑appropriable fund), HB 3327 (changes to State Board of Education appointments), and HB 3329 (trailer/sunset adjustments). Multiple amendments were adopted and all items passed committee.
