Conference committee rolls multiple bills to reconvene; final language and fiscal releases pending
A joint House–Senate conference committee on April 22 rolled several bills to reconvene the next day at 10:25/10:30 a.m. in Conference Room 224 while conferees finalized language or awaited fiscal-office releases.

Bills specifically mentioned as rolled or deferred included HB422 HD1 SD2 (school impact fees), SB1263 (historic preservation), HP740 HD2 SD2 (housing), HP529 HD1 SD1 (state finances), HB432 HD1 SD2 (rental housing revolving fund), SB1229 (dwelling unit revolving fund, noted as "SB 12 29" in the transcript), SD576 (financial administration, noted as "SD5 76"), and SB572 (relating to housing).

Conferees consistently cited a small set of reasons for rolling items: finalizing conference-draft language (CD1), waiting for WAM or FIN release, and awaiting line release or additional approvals. Where conferees said they had agreement on language, they still requested the administrative releases (fiscal or committee clearance) before advancing the bill.

Each rolled item was given a reconvene time and room in the transcript (either 10:25 a.m. or 10:30 a.m., Room 224). The transcript records no substantive debate on those bills during the hearing portion in which they were rolled; the entries are procedural scheduling and status notes rather than final actions.
