Rules Committee reports package including exemption for private campgrounds and changes to mortuary inspector experience requirement

Chair Bradford convened the House Rules Committee and moved to report a two-bill package that included House Bill 1424 (Printer's No. 1653) and House Bill 1433 (Printer's No. 1669). The package advanced on a 33-0 roll call vote.

The package includes House Bill 1424, described in the committee as a measure that would exempt privately owned campgrounds from local amusement and admissions taxes, and House Bill 1433, described as lowering the minimum years of experience necessary to become a mortuary inspector. A committee member indicated Republicans would vote in the affirmative during the motion.

The action taken was procedural: the chair moved to report the bills out of committee to the full House. The secretary called the roll and recorded the vote as 33 in favor, none opposed. No floor amendments, seconds, or additional debate were recorded in the committee transcript for this motion.

Because the committee vote was to report the bills, the measures will proceed to the next stage of the legislative process; the transcript does not record any committee direction to staff, required amendments, or implementation details for either bill.
