Committee votes 15‑0 to repeal rarely‑used residential mold assessment certification

The committee convened an executive session on HB 11 26, which would repeal a state certification requirement to perform residential mold assessments. Representative Slocci moved "ought to pass" and Representative Grotta seconded. After a brief discussion — including testimony that no one currently holds that certification and that third‑party certifications still exist outside statute — the committee conducted a roll call vote. The clerk recorded a unanimous vote in favor; the motion passed 15–0 and HB 11 26 was added to the committee's consent calendar.

The committee’s vote count and roll call were read into the record and the chair closed the executive session on the bill. Committee members indicated they would seek to place the measure on a future calendar for floor action.
