The Assembly Committee on Ways and Means convened on April 26, 2025, to discuss key legislative matters, primarily focusing on Senate Bill 458. The meeting began with a roll call of committee members, followed by a reminder for public comment at the end of the session.

Senate Bill 458 was the sole bill addressed during this meeting. The bill proposes a supplemental appropriation of $773,148 to the Office of the Secretary of State. This funding is intended to cover an unexpected shortfall related to travel, operating, and information service expenses. The committee's fiscal analyst confirmed that there were no recommended amendments to the bill.

After a brief discussion, the committee moved to approve the bill. Assembly Member Bacchus made the motion, which was seconded by the majority leader. The motion passed with some opposition noted from a few members, including Assemblymembers Conan, Dickman, O'Neil, Hibbits, and Hafen.

The meeting concluded with no public comments from attendees or callers, and the chair reminded members about an upcoming committee photo day, encouraging them to wear shades of green.

Overall, the meeting was focused and efficient, with the approval of Senate Bill 458 being the primary outcome.
