Committee corrects technical language and advances House bill H 3,629

The committee considered House Bill H 3,629, described by agency staff as a cleanup bill arising from the legislative oversight process. Agency representatives told the panel the changes were recommended by the agency and approved by the Board of Commissioners before submission.

Committee members identified a drafting error in section 1. A senator offered a Senate amendment to correct that language; the agency confirmed it supported the Senate amendment. The committee voted in favor of the amendment by voice vote and then moved a favorable report on the bill as amended. The transcript records the ayes and the chair’s announcement that "the ayes have it," but does not provide a numeric roll-call tally.

The transcript does not include the full text of the amendment or further procedural dates. The committee then moved on to other agenda items.
