Senate committee recommends 'do pass' on bill updating ski-lift terminology

The Senate Local Government Committee recommended a "do pass" for House Bill 2,272 on executive action after a brief executive session and voice vote. The committee chair announced the bill "is passed subject to signatures."

Committee staff summarized the measure as updating terms for ski lift devices inspected by state parks and revising which ski lift devices require operators to maintain liability insurance. "The first bill before you is, House Bill 2,272, updating terminology related to ski areas and winter sports activities," a staff member said. Staff reported no amendments were posted and that a fiscal note was not requested.

Under Senate Rule 49, the committee dispensed with a public hearing because the committee previously heard the Senate companion, Senate Bill 6,013, and had taken executive action on the companion earlier in the session. The committee moved the bill to the rules committee for further processing.

The action recorded in committee was a motion for a "do pass" recommendation and a subsequent voice vote; the chair said the bill passed subject to signatures. The committee then proceeded to the next items on the executive-action list.
