ACTION NARRATIVE
2:45:44 PM
CHAIR MATT CLAMAN called the House Judiciary Standing Committee
meeting to order at 2:45 p.m. Representatives Drummond,
Eastman, and Claman were present at the call to order.
Representatives Kreiss-Tomkins, Kurka, and Snyder arrived as the
meeting was in progress.
SB 182-INTERFERENCE WITH EMERGENCY SERVICES
2:46:20 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN announced that the only order of business would be
CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 182(JUD), "An Act establishing the crime
of interference with emergency communications." [Before the
committee was HCS CSSB 182(STA).]
CHAIR CLAMAN gave Legislative Legal Services permission to make
technical and conforming changes to the bill. He noted that the
forthcoming amendments were drafted to Version O [CSSB 182(JUD)
instead of Version N [HCS CSSB 182(STA)], which was before the
committee. He said in a rare exception, the amendments would be
allowed, as they track the current version of the bill.
2:47:39 PM
REPRESENTATIVE EASTMAN moved to adopt Amendment 1 to HCS CSSB
182(STA), labeled, 32-LS1103\O.6, Radford, 5/3/22 which read:
Page 1, line 6, following "knowingly":
Insert ","
Page 1, lines 7 - 15:
Delete all material.
Page 2, line 1:
Delete "(4)"
Page 2, line 4:
Delete "(A)"
Insert "(1)"
Page 2, line 6:
Delete "(B)"
Insert "(2)"
Page 2, line 7:
Delete "(C)"
Insert "(3)"
Page 2, line 10:
Delete "(a)(4)"
Insert "(a)"
CHAIR CLAMAN objected.
2:47:53 PM
REPRESENTATIVE EASTMAN stated that Amendment 1 would clarify
that when a person intends to cause a disruption in service by
interfering with, blocking, or otherwise disrupting the
emergency communication by telephone, phone, radio, or other
electronic means, this person would be charged with the crime of
interference with emergency services.
CHAIR CLAMAN maintained his objection.
2:49:02 PM
A roll call vote was taken. Representatives Kurka and Eastman
voted in favor of Amendment 1. Representatives Drummond,
Snyder, and Claman voted against it. Therefore, Amendment 1
failed by a vote of 2-3.
2:49:38 PM
REPRESENTATIVE EASTMAN moved to adopt Amendment 2 to HCS CSSB
182(STA), labeled, 32-LS1103\O.7, Radford, 5/3/22, which read:
Page 2, lines 20 - 26:
Delete all material.
Reletter the following subparagraphs accordingly.
Page 2, line 27, following "personnel;"
Insert "and"
Page 2, line 31, through page 3, line 2:
Delete all material.
CHAIR CLAMAN objected.
2:49:45 PM
REPRESENTATIVE EASTMAN opined that "emergency communications
center" was too broadly defined in the current version of the
bill. He stated that Amendment 2 would limit the definition to
a center which is involved in the dispatch of police, fire, or
medical personnel, or involved in the transfer or exchange of a
request for emergency assistance and other information with
other centers and emergency response providers.
2:50:52 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN maintained his objection.
2:50:56 PM
A roll call vote was taken. Representatives Kurka and Eastman
voted in favor of Amendment 2. Representatives Drummond,
Snyder, and Claman voted against it. Therefore, Amendment 2
failed by a vote of 2-3.
2:51:34 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN sought final comment from committee members.
2:52:03 PM
REPRESENTATIVE EASTMAN shared his belief that the new crime of
interference with emergency communications was defined too
broadly in the bill.
REPRESENTATIVE SNYDER thanked the bill sponsor for a reasonable
response to unreasonable uses of emergency resources.
2:56:19 PM
REPRESENTATIVE SNYDER moved to report HCS CSSB 182(STA) out of
committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying
fiscal notes. There being no objection, HCS CSSB 182(STA) was
reported from the House Judiciary Standing Committee.
2:56:49 PM
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the committee, the House
Judiciary Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at 2:56 p.m.
