Representative Jacobson moved Amendment H1378 (notation H1378.1 in committee), which would provide that an increased cap of $200,000 for reimbursing small businesses, farms, or nonprofits for reestablishment expenses must be adjusted annually for inflation. Speaking in favor of the amendment, Representative Jacobson framed eminent domain as a serious taking of property and argued that the state should ensure just compensation, including relocation costs. “Eminent domain is a … taking of someone’s property,” Jacobson said. “If someone is not expecting to move their business and the government has a public purpose in taking that business then we should pay the freight on that.”

Representative Tai and other members supported the inflation-adjustment provision as a way to keep the reimbursement amount current. The committee voice-voted to adopt Amendment H1378.1; later, the committee voted to report the substitute bill out by roll call. Staff announced 13 ayes, 0 nays.

By committee action the substitute House Bill 1733, including the adopted amendment, will move to the chamber with a recommendation to pass. Committee discussion repeatedly referenced the constitutional requirement to provide just compensation for takings; Representative Jacobson specifically cited Article I, Section 16 of the state constitution and the U.S. Constitution when discussing just compensation.

Representative Burnett asked for a yes vote, saying the bill would reduce undue staff burdens and speed processes for museums and historical societies working with older or unclaimed collections. “This bill is really about notice and uncom unclaimed property to free up the space for the local museums,” Burnett said. He and other members said the bill would allow museums to use alternative notification methods while still encouraging due diligence by museum staff.

Representative Peterson, speaking for the substitute, said the bill updates credentialing, appointment and reimbursement provisions for court interpreters, clarifies language-access plans and terminology, and makes two changes in the proposed substitute. First, subject to the availability of amounts appropriated, a person with limited English proficiency required to attend court-mandated classes would not be responsible for interpreter costs if that person is (1) a party, (2) subpoenaed or summoned, (3) a parent, guardian or custodian of a juvenile, or (4) compelled to appear. Second, the substitute provides that court-mandated classes do not require the use of court-credentialed interpreters; if classes are provided through a court-contracted outside provider, the contract may require the provider to bear the costs of interpreter services.

Representative Abel said he would register a “soft no” because he was uncertain about administrative costs and local burdens. Representative Peterson described the bill as “a small step” to improve access to justice through interpreter services.

Staff recorded 8 ayes and 5 nays. The committee action advances the substitute to the full chamber with a recommendation to pass.

Representative Taylor, who identified herself as the bill sponsor during committee discussion, said the measure updates statutory provisions related to implied warranties and construction-defect claims and is intended to expand the condominium market to help address the affordable-housing shortage. “This is a bill that I am sponsoring, and it's an attempt to, support in expanding housing supply, and address the affordable housing crisis,” Representative Taylor said.

The bill had no amendments on the committee floor. Committee discussion emphasized continued stakeholder negotiations: Representative Farvar said the bill is moving in the right direction but that some members may register “very soft noes” to recognize remaining work before a final floor vote. Committee staff called the roll after discussion.

Staff announced 11 ayes and 2 nays. The two members recorded voting no were Representative Walsh and Representative Abel; the remaining voting members recorded aye.

The committee action is a procedural step to move the bill to the full chamber with a recommendation to pass. Committee members and staff said they expect continued redlining with stakeholders before any final floor action.
