HB 231 - REGULATION OF SNOWMOBILES Number 2222 CHAIRMAN GREEN brought before the committee HB 231, "An Act relating to regulation of snowmobiles." On February 2, 1998, CSHB 231(JUD)[version 0-LS0501\F, Ford, 5/5/97, as amended] had passed out of committee, but the committee had retained possession of the documents. Chairman Green advised members that they needed to do some housekeeping on this bill and that there was a new proposed committee substitute, Version H. Number 2256 REPRESENTATIVE PORTER made a motion to rescind the committee's action in passing from committee CSHB 231(JUD). There being no objection, it was so ordered. CHAIRMAN GREEN pointed out that on line 1 of Version H, the title says "regulation"; he indicated this is a return to the original language prior to amendments to Version F made on February 2, 1998. He said there were legal opinions that "regulation" would cover registration as well, whereas just having "registration" may create problems on the last two pages, where regulations are discussed. Number 2256 REPRESENTATIVE PORTER made a motion to adopt Version H [0-LS0501\H, Ford, 2/4/98] as a work draft. There being no objection, Version H was before the committee. Number 2305 CHAIRMAN GREEN explained that page 1, lines 7 and 8, says, "Registration under this section is not required for a snowmobile owned by the United States." In addition, on page 2, line 4, the vendor would not necessarily have to do anything, if there was no registration or fee. Number 2326 CHAIRMAN GREEN advised members that on page 2, lines 24 and 25, it says the department may, upon request, issue a registration without payment of a fee if the snowmobile is owned by the United States. He characterized these changes as housecleaning to conform to the committee's earlier discussion at length. Number 2345 REPRESENTATIVE PORTER made a motion to move from committee version 0-LS0501\H, Ford, 2/4/98, with individual recommendations and any attached fiscal notes. REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ objected to request an at-ease. CHAIRMAN GREEN called an at-ease at 1:52 p.m. He called the meeting back to order at 1:55 p.m. REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ removed his objection. Number 2368 CHAIRMAN GREEN noted that there being no further objection, CSHB 231(JUD) was moved from the House Judiciary Standing Committee.
