The committee discussed HB 14 66, a titling measure narrowed in committee to address boat trailers. Committee members questioned the fiscal note and whether the House Ways and Means committee should review a bill that affects state revenues.
"There's going to be $190,000 decrease per year for this bill alone in revenues," one member warned during debate, noting the state's revenue shortfall concerns. Supporters, including Representative Popovich, emphasized that reduced title issuance can also lower DMV processing costs and that historical practice and usage patterns make the fiscal effect smaller over time.
A motion to recommend "ought to pass" was made and seconded; the committee recorded approval by roll call and the chair closed the item.
Next steps: The recommendation will be forwarded consistent with legislative procedure.
