The meeting began with a transition to the public comment section, but no individuals signed up to testify. Following this, the committee members expressed their gratitude to the witnesses present.
After confirming there were no further questions or additional witnesses, the committee moved into a public meeting to deliberate on the bill. Attendance was taken, with all committee members present.
Council Member O'Rourke proposed an amendment to Bill Number 250774, which was circulated to all members prior to the meeting. The amendment was moved for approval and seconded by Council Member Gauthier. The committee voted in favor of the amendment, which was subsequently approved.
Following the amendment's approval, Council Member O'Rourke made a motion to report the amended bill from the committee with a favorable recommendation. He also requested that the rules of council be suspended to allow for the first reading of the bill at the next council session. This motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
The committee's actions indicate a significant step forward for Bill Number 250774, which will now proceed to the next stage in the legislative process.
