HB 296-MUNICIPAL MERGER AND CONSOLIDATION
CHAIRMAN TORGERSON announced the bill was heard the previous week
and since Mr. Waring from the Local Boundary Commission wasn't
available to testify, the bill was held. Mr. Waring was again
unavailable to comment but members received a copy to his letter
to the Chairman dated April 10, 2002 and a copy is in the bill
file.
CHAIRMAN TORGERSON called attention to the supplemental packet
for HB 296 that contained three amendments. Amendment #1 was
pending from the April 10, 2002 meeting. There was discussion
about changing the amendment to allow a merger to move forward if
one municipality voted to not join in the merger. Proposed
amendment #2 would do that.
He asked for a motion to withdraw amendment #1.
SENATOR AUSTERMAN made a motion to withdraw amendment #1. There
was no objection.
SENATOR AUSTERMAN made a motion to adopt amendment #2, version
\F.4 Cook. There being no objection, amendment #2 was adopted.
CHAIRMAN TORGERSON stated amendment #3, version \F.3 Cook affects
applicability. It doesn't affect any petition that is currently
pending before the Department of Community and Regional Affairs.
SENATOR AUSTERMAN made a motion to adopt amendment #3, version
\F.3 Cook. There being no objection, amendment #3 was adopted.
CHAIRMAN TORGERSON asked for the will of the committee.
SENATOR AUSTERMAN made a motion to move SCS HB 296(CRA).
There being no objection, it was so ordered.
