The Senate City, County & Local Affairs Committee recessed after the committee chair said SB252 would not be heard because an amendment is being added.
Committee Chair, Chair, told members and the public that a quorum was present but "SB252 is not going to run today. There's an amendment being added, from what I understand from the sponsor, so it will not be." The chair said two other bills on the committee's calendar were delayed because their sponsors were appearing in another committee and that the panel would "give them a few minutes and show up, then we'll be done for the day."
A committee member suggested the body could recess. The committee's recorded direction was to recess "until we make a determination on the next bill from Senator Ervin or Senator Penzo," according to the chair's remarks. No hearing date or time for the postponed SB252 was announced on the record.
Because the meeting did not advance any bills or take formal votes, no motions, votes, or formal actions were recorded for the committee during this session. The committee did not set a follow-up schedule on the record before adjourning the brief session.
The brief session was procedural: the chair opened to note a quorum, explained the postponement was due to an amendment and sponsor scheduling, and recessed while awaiting the sponsors' arrival. No public testimony or bill debate occurred during the recorded remarks.
