Rules Committee grants late-introduction permission for Representative Livingston's budget measures

The chair of the Rules Committee granted permission for the late introduction of measures sponsored by Representative Livingston relating to the budget, citing House Rule 8C and noting that no members objected. "Hearing none so ordered," the chair said.

The committee's action invoked House Rule 8C as the procedural basis for allowing the late filing of the budget measures. The request for permission was introduced by the chair; the transcript does not specify a mover, seconder or a roll-call vote. The chair asked for objections and, when none were raised, ordered that the permission be granted.

Representative Livingston was identified in the transcript only as the sponsor of the measures; no further details about the bills' content or numbers were provided. The committee recorded the decision and the chair adjourned the meeting.

The transcript does not specify any vote tallies, amendments, committee instructions to staff, or a schedule for when the measures will be formally introduced. Those details were not provided in the session record.
