Committee votes HB 2809 'due pass' in executive session

The Committee on Government Efficiency voted to recommend House Bill 2809, introduced by Representative Knight, with a committee action of 'due pass.' Chair Hausman moved the motion in executive session and the chair later announced the result, saying the vote was 11 ayes, 0 nos and 2 present.

The committee took the vote during an executive session before opening its public hearings. The chair closed the executive session after announcing the tally; no discussion of the bill's content appears in the public transcript of the committee proceeding.

The committee's announcement indicated the bill will proceed from the committee with a favorable recommendation. The transcript does not record a formal roll-call list with each member's name paired to their recorded vote beyond the announced tally, nor does it record any amendments or follow-up directions at the time of the vote.
