would not be an improvement. The bill would essentially create a special court. <br /> <br />Responding to a question from Mr. Pap6, Mr. Lidz said that the Land Use Board of Appeals referees do not <br />have to be lawyers, but usually are. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman suggested that if the bill passed, there would be less of a possibility the appointments to the <br />court would be political because the State would have to appoint existing judges. Mr. Lidz believed the <br />result would be that the current board of appeals would become the court of appeals. <br /> <br /> Ms. Taylor, seconded by Mr. Pap6, moved to change the status of the bill to Oppose. The <br /> motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br />Priority 3 Bills <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor referred to HB 2109, related to pedestrians, and asked how it clarified existing law. Mr. <br />Cushman said that the bill standardized the rules for all drivers and made it clear when a driver could enter a <br />signalized intersection if the crosswalk was occupied by a pedestrian. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor asked why staff recommended opposition to HB 2378, relating to the working family child care <br />credit. Mr. Hill said it would expand the current credit to allow more people to claim the credit. It could be <br />claimed by parents, grandparents, and guardians. The bill did not specify that the individual must have <br />custody of a child. Responding to a question from Ms. Bettman, Mr. Hill indicated the source of the <br />revenue loss estimate was the State. Responding to a question from Mr. Pap6, Mr. Hill said the impact of <br />the bill would depend on how many more people took advantage of the tax credit's expanded availability. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman suggested the CCIGR support the bill with amendments calling for documentation that the <br />person applying for the credit is the caretaker of the child. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor expressed concern about the proposed amendment as she believed that some people would have <br />a difficult time proving they had custody of a child even if they had full responsibility for the child. Mr. <br />Pap6 agreed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to change the status of the bill Priority 2, <br /> Support. The motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman indicated her opposition to HB 2438, which modified the rule-making authority of the Land <br />Conservation and Development Commission as she believed it would increase the exceptions to State land <br />use rules. The current staff recommendation was to monitor the bill. <br /> <br /> Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to change the status of the bill to Priority 2, <br /> Oppose. <br /> <br />Ms. Brooks reported that the bill passed the House of Representatives the previous day by a vote of 58:2. <br /> <br />In response to a request for more information about the bill from Mr. Pap6, Ms. Klemp indicated the bill <br />came from a committee. Mr. Lidz said there was a growing consensus in the legislature that the State's <br />current rules were fairly rigid, and flexibility to apply them with some discretion was a good idea. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman disagreed that the State's land use rules were too rigid. She believed the rules were pretty <br /> <br />MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations February 24, 2005 Page 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
