HB2050- telecommunications fund; report; posting is going to transform into marijuana establishments; license. The scheduled transition is set for Tuesday, March 29th at 9 am in the Senate Appropriations Committee. There are no documents released for the language as yet. Long story short, next week there might be another marijuana bill included on the list.
Republican Representative Kevin Payne LD21, added a hostile amendment to Republican Senator T.j. Shopes SB1324. SB1324 deals with smart and safe fund; distribution. The bill originally added local authorities to part of the retirement fund. Payne’s amendment adds DPS to the list. This does not mean the money needs to go to retirement, it is just a way of gauging the amount. A hostile amendment is proposed by a member that is not the measure’s initial sponsor. The authentic bill’s sponsor opposes the new amendment.
