The JELCAR committee opened its meeting, led the pledge of allegiance, approved the minutes (motion moved by Jackie, seconded by Erica) and approved the consent calendar (moved by Representative Leon, seconded by Representative Lehi) by voice votes.
The committee also approved tentative meeting dates to remain in the same room for the coming year and voted to cancel continued meetings as the default. The chair closed other business and adjourned the meeting.
Several substantive rule items were taken up and approved during the session; for items that required further clarification the committee issued conditional approvals or asked agencies to consider emergency rule filings. Notable examples included an interim Department of Health and Human Services rule (HEC 6420) that cited an expired interim rule and a Department of Natural and Cultural Resources prohibition on burning brush over 5 inches in diameter; both were conditionally or fully approved with follow-up directions to agency staff.
The meeting concluded after the chair confirmed meeting dates and closed the session.
