Committee schedules dam safety and rare-disease bills for next meeting; dam safety allocation noted

Committee members flagged several items to be considered at the committee’s next meeting and said dam safety would be taken up the following day.

Members listed H46 (an act relating to a rare disease advisory council) and H778 (an act relating to dam safety), with committee discussion noting an allocation in the neighborhood of $380,000 for dam safety work. A committee member said, "We're going to do dam safety tomorrow. Grady will be here, so we can ask him about it." No formal motion or vote on these bills was recorded in this hearing; the items were scheduled for the committee’s next session for presentation and discussion.

Committee members also discussed internal procedures for assigning sections of bills to different numbers and the ability to appeal assignment decisions to the chair or to trade assignments among members. Staff and members indicated they would circulate assignment proposals and follow up at the next meeting.
