Committee records three bill introductions: RS3089 (child tax credit scholarship), RS3017 (pay parity for deaf/blind schools), RS2858 (positive learning env.)

The Committee on K-12 Education Budget recorded three bill introductions by unanimous consent (no objections recorded).

Representative Steele moved to introduce RS3089 on behalf of Linda Hyland, described in committee as a proposal "dealing with a child tax credit scholarship." The chair asked for objections and, seeing none, considered RS3089 introduced.

Representative McNorton introduced RS3017, described as addressing pay parity for the School for the Deaf and the School for the Blind and requested the committee hold a hearing on the item when it is reached on the agenda. The chair noted it was considered introduced.

Representative Brantley introduced RS2858 (read in the record as 'r s 2 8 5 8'), described as legislation "in regards to positive learning environment in our classrooms." Members discussed whether it falls under 'education' or 'K‑12' jurisdiction; the chair clarified that assignment to a committee is decided by the majority leader’s and the speaker’s offices.

Procedural note: introductions were handled by voice/consent; no recorded roll-call votes, seconds or amendment language were entered in the transcript. The committee will schedule hearings and further consideration as the legislative process assigns jurisdiction and hearing dates.

The chair proceeded to the KLRD presentation after introductions.
