Call to Order And Review Agenda <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman called the meeting of the Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations (CCIGR) to order <br />and reviewed the agenda. She determined there were no changes to the agenda. <br /> <br /> <br />2. Review Pending Legislation <br /> <br />Responding to a question from Ms. Bettman about the status of House Bill (HB) 2735, related to manufac- <br />tured housing, Ms. Wilson said the bill was moving forward but there was some confusion about the floor <br />proposed by Representative Paul Holvey. There were nine such bills, only one of which the committee had <br />seen to this point. Mayor Piercy expressed concern about the bill as she had heard from several other <br />mayors who had been concerned about the preemption contained in the bill. She asked the committee to take <br />a position on the bill. Ms. Wilson said that staff recommended the committee take a position of Priority 2, <br />Support for HB 2735. Ms. Bettman deferred discussion of the bill until members had copies. <br /> <br />HB 2562 <br /> <br />Ms. Wilson said that Ms. Taylor wanted to change the status of the bill to Priority 3, Oppose, as she <br />considered the bill an invasion of privacy. The bill created an offense for individuals refusing to submit to a <br />blood test or urine test if requested to do so under the implied consent law. Ms. Wilson noted the staff <br />recommendation for Priority 3, Support. Mr. Cushman explained the fine in place now only applied to the <br />breath test so there was no penalty for an individual who refused to take a blood test. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman and Mr. Pryor supported the staff recommendation, although Ms. Bettman would have <br />preferred to have dropped the bill as she did not consider it to be related to council policy and thought such <br />public safety-related bills might be more appropriately forwarded by a police chief’s association, for <br />example, rather than a city council. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor moved to drop the bill from consideration. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations March 9, 2007 Page 1 <br /> <br />
