HB 105-DETENTION OF MINORS  3:45:48 PM CO-CHAIR SNYDER announced that the next order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 105, "An Act relating to the duties of the commissioner of corrections; relating to the detention of minors; relating to minors subject to adult courts; relating to the placement of minors in adult correctional facilities; and providing for an effective date." 3:46:32 PM The committee took a brief at-ease. 3:47:59 PM CO-CHAIR SNYDER, responding to Representative McCarty, confirmed that last week the committee heard [CSHB 105(JUD)]. 3:48:50 PM REPRESENTATIVE KURKA suggested merging HB 105 and HB 116 given the two bills overlap significantly and the desire for timely passage of both bills. CO-CHAIR SNYDER concurred and stated that HB 105 was slowed down for this reason. She said conversations are still ongoing about what a merge might look like. The intention in hearing both bills separately today but taking no action, she explained, is to allow for questions to be answered given they would still be pertinent should the bills be combined. REPRESENTATIVE KURKA inquired about a memo that listed the duplicative changes or similarities proposed in both bills. CO-CHAIR SNYDER replied that "the crosswalk" was sent to the committee on [4/23/21]. She held over HB 105.
