Potential Legislation to Correct Statute
Mr. Todd Jorgensen, Legislative Council Staff, discussed potential legislation for the 2006 legislative session to correct an inconsistency with regard to the duties of the Capital Development Committee (CDC) and the Joint Budget Committee (JBC). The inconsistency was inadvertently created with the passage of HB 04-1465. Mr. Jorgensen suggested two options: making the change in the annual Revisor's bill, or running a committee bill (the bill would not count against a member's bill limit). The committee considered the recommendation by the Revisor that a separate bill be run due to the substantive nature of the change.
BILL:
2006 Potential Legislation
TIME:
12:59:11 PM
MOVED:
Bacon
MOTION:
Carry a bill in the 2006 legislative session to fix the inconsistency and clarigy the relationship between the CDC and the JBC. The motion carried on a vote of 6-0.
