Chairperson Patton opened the hearing on HB2127. Natalie Scott provided an overview of the bill. (Attachment 1) She stood for questions.
Proponent
Mark Knackendoffel (Attachment 2) explained with the decline in print newspapers, especially in rural areas, and as more newspapers are being published weekly rather than daily, the current deadlines have become difficult or impossible to comply with. The Judicial Council and its Probate Law Advisory Committee concluded that the approach in HB2127 protects the rights of the parties to adequate notice without imposing additional unnecessary time restrictions that serve no real purpose. Mr. Knackendoffel stood for questions.
Chairperson Patton closed the hearing on HB2127.
