SENATE BILL NO. 168
"An Act relating to program receipts; and relating to
the acceptance of gifts, donations, and grants for the
purpose of providing signage for assets under the
control of the Department of Transportation and Public
Facilities."
1:51:33 PM
Co-Chair Merrick noted the committee had previously heard
the identical companion bill.
SENATOR ROBERT MEYERS, SPONSOR, introduced the bill. He
relayed that the bill included identical language to HB
296, which had been heard by the committee the previous
week. He explained that the bill would provide a new avenue
for funding commemorative naming projects by allowing
receipt authority for the Department of Transportation and
Public Facilities to enable the department to collect
donations for signage. The bill did not require costs to be
paid by outside groups but helped to codify a process that
would not be reliant on state funds. The bill was less
about policy and more about codifying process and timing.
1:52:41 PM
Co-Chair Merrick OPENED and CLOSED public testimony.
1:53:00 PM
Co-Chair Merrick asked the department to review the fiscal
note.
ANDY MILLS, LEGISLATIVE LIAISON, DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC FACILITIES (via teleconference),
reviewed the zero fiscal note with the control code dkycm.
He detailed that the language of the bill sought to provide
a [funding] method option for future naming legislation. He
explained that a future bill would be required to produce
an associated fiscal note. The process included in SB 168
outlined the method a future [naming] bill would use. He
elaborated that future naming legislation could outline
that statutory designated program receipts would be
collected and used to pay for the legislation.
Senator Meyers thanked the committee for hearing the bill.
Co-Chair Merrick set an amendment deadline for Wednesday at
6:00 p.m.
SB 168 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
Co-Chair Merrick reviewed the schedule for the following
day.
