The Senate Committee on Government Organization met Thursday afternoon to discuss four bills on the agenda.
House Bill 2446 was the focal point of the meeting, as it would create the Blue Alert Plan. The Blue Alert Plan would aid in locating a law-enforcement officer who has disappeared in the line of duty or locating a suspect or suspects who kill or inflict a life-threatening injury upon a law-enforcement officer and remain at large. Alerts would go to media outlets who then would inform the public about the missing officer.
Senate Bill 345 would add the definition of grantee to include state spending units and local governments and to require grantees to report state grant spending information to grantors.
Senate Bill 285 relates to the selling of cottage foods. The bill would allow homemade foods, also known as cottage foods, to be sold at third party vendors. Foods must abide by current code and must contain labels of ingredients.
Senate Bill 405 would Increase the limit on additional expenses incurred in preparing notice list for redemption. The bill would increase it from $200 to $500.
All bills were approved by the Committee, and will be reported to the full Senate to be voted upon.
