The House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday adopted amendment L006 to House Bill 10 52 and forwarded the amended bill to the Committee of the Whole.
Representative Stewart, the sponsor, told the committee, “If you will look in your packet, it is L6, which eliminates the retrospective looking right for review of forensic evidence and eliminates the fiscal note.” The amendment was moved and seconded and the amendment phase closed without objections.
Madam Vice Chair moved the bill, and Representative Titone seconded the motion to send the bill to the Committee of the Whole. Ms. Curry called the roll; the chair announced the motion passed 8–0 with three members excused.
The committee took no other action on the bill during the hearing. The next procedural step is consideration by the Committee of the Whole.
