The committee chair opened the session, confirmed a quorum and announced that Committee Substitute House Bill 250 has been "rolled until further notice" at the sponsor's request and that House Bill 311, as amended, has also been rolled.
Unidentified Speaker 4, a representative, raised a procedural objection about the next agenda item, saying, "according to what I've heard this bill has not been read in on the floor or referred to a committee yet." The representative said they were worried the committee's report could later be expunged if the referral had not been handled correctly.
The chair responded that staff notified the committee the previous afternoon the panel would hear Senate Bill 264 and that, "it is the last week" and they were "working hard and as fast as we can," so the committee would accommodate what it could. She told members to be on standby for a special meeting — possibly later the same day or the following day — and said scheduling would be adjusted through Wednesday as needed.
Another representative asked whether additional senate bills were expected to be referred to the committee; the chair said members should expect more referrals and that additional short-notice meetings were likely.
No formal vote was recorded during the session. The chair adjourned the meeting after announcing the scheduling plan.
