The State and Local Government Committee voted unanimously on Feb. 4 to advance LD 2069, a bill to create a state designation recognizing a commercial fishing remembrance.
Representative Will Toole presented the measure and Senator Burton moved the committee report 'ought to pass.' The clerk announced the roll call and recorded nine members present; the committee vote was unanimous.
Committee members characterized the bill as a straightforward commemorative designation with no fiscal impact indicated in the preliminary fiscal materials circulated by staff. Representative Toole thanked members for their support and said he hoped the measure would be enacted in the current legislative session.
What happens next: committee staff will finalize paperwork and return the bill for further processing in the legislature.
