The Senate’s Ways and Means Committee reported a substitute bill on improving interactions between police officers and persons with autism spectrum disorder, recommending that Senate Bill 2348 be amended by substitution with a new draft, S.2558. The committee chair recorded the report and the Senate placed the matter on the order's day for second reading on Thursday, June 24, 2025.

Senator Michael J. Rodgers presented the committee report on the floor and the presiding officer ordered the rules suspended to allow immediate consideration. The clerk read the committee’s recommendation that the new draft be placed on the calendar for second reading.

No floor debate on the substantive provisions was recorded in the excerpted transcript. The committee report and the order to suspend the rules were accepted and recorded for later consideration on the calendar.

Why it matters: the measure, as reported, is intended to facilitate better interactions between police and individuals with autism spectrum disorder; the transcript excerpts do not include text of the bill or details of the proposed training, reporting, or procedural changes. The committee’s report and the scheduling action are the procedural steps recorded on the floor during this session.
