House Veterans and Military Development Committee favorably reports HB 92 after no in-person testimony

The House Veterans and Military Development Committee favorably reported House Bill 92 and recommended it for passage after a roll-call vote on the floor of the committee.

Vice Chair Matthews moved to "favorably report House Bill 2 92 and recommend its passage," prompting the clerk to call the roll for a recorded vote. The committee recorded 12 affirmative votes and 0 negative votes; Chair Richardson announced, "With 12 affirmative votes and 0 negative votes, House Bill 92 has favorably reported out of committee." The motion did not list a seconder in the transcript.

Committee staff said the committee office had received no testimony for the bill and that no one was present to testify in person. Chair Richardson noted one member was not present and that the roll would remain open until 2:00 p.m. in the clerk's office to accommodate late votes. Members were asked to sign the report sheet circulating in the room and to place a star next to their signature if they wished to cosponsor.

The transcript does not include the bill text, substantive debate, or amendments; details of HB 92’s provisions were not specified in the hearing record. The committee concluded the fifth hearing on HB 92 following the vote.
