Senator Tarr moved to suspend the rules so the matter could be considered forthwith; the motion was adopted with the presiding officer announcing, “the ayes have it,” and the order was adopted.

Senator Fabin moved to suspend the rules to allow immediate consideration of the measure. The presiding officer announced that the ayes have it, and the bill was ordered to a third reading. The Senate then recessed subject to the call of the chair.

The committee on rules reported the petition and bill to the floor. Senator Fadman moved to suspend the rules to allow immediate consideration; the motion passed when the presiding officer announced, “the ayes have it,” and the measure was referred to the committee on telecommunications, utility, and energy.

No further debate or substantive details of the bill’s provisions were stated on the floor during the session. The transcript does not record a floor vote on the underlying bill itself or specifics about the protections the measure would create; those details would be developed or disclosed in committee.

The Senate took the procedural step of suspending rules to expedite consideration, and the matter now awaits committee review and any subsequent committee votes or amendments.","A petition and accompanying bill from Joanne M.
