Summary

Representative Owen moved to have the fiscal office analyze the fiscal impact of creating a sentencing‑review panel within the Department of Public Safety and Corrections; the referral to Appropriations was made without objection.

Representative Richard Owen introduced a House resolution directing the fiscal office to analyze and review the fiscal impact of establishing a sentencing review panel within the Department of Public Safety and Corrections; the measure was referred to the Appropriations Committee "without objection."

On the floor Owen said the resolution would become HR 243 and moved to suspend the rules to refer the measure to committee. The clerk announced the referral to Appropriations and recorded "without objection," sending the proposal to that committee for fiscal review and any subsequent recommendations.

The transcript does not record further debate or a fiscal estimate on the floor. The Appropriations Committee will determine scope, request data from the fiscal office and any state agencies, and decide whether to report the proposal back to the full House with a fiscal recommendation.
