SPONSOR: Chipman

COMMITTEE ACTION: Voted "Do Pass by Consent" by the Administration and Accounts by a vote of 8 to 0. Voted "Do Pass- Consent" by the Standing Committee on Consent and House Procedure by a vote of 9 to 0.

Currently, the Senate and House of Representatives must pass a resolution allowing employees to continue in employment after adjournment of a regular session or sine die adjournment of the General Assembly. This bill removes the requirement of passing a resolution to continue in employment.

This bill is the same as HB 2415 (2020).

PROPONENTS: Supporters say that this bill would eliminate the need to pass a resolution every year.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Chipman; and Arnie Dienoff.

OPPONENTS: There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
