Committee lays over Senate Bill 160 to May 10
Summary
The House Committee on Business Affairs & Labor voted to lay over Senate Bill 160 to May 10 for further consideration; the motion passed by committee voice vote with a recorded tally of 10 in favor and three excused.
The House Committee on Business Affairs & Labor voted to lay over Senate Bill 160 to May 10 to allow further discussion. Representative Morrow moved the lay‑over and Vice Chair Woodrow seconded.
Representative Woodrow said the proposal surfaces a flawed system that needs more work and described the current bill as a vehicle to continue the conversation. The committee recorded a favorable motion to lay the bill over; the clerk reported the motion passed with 10 yes votes and three excused.
Why it matters: Sponsors and the vice chair said the measure or the topic it addresses needs more deliberation beyond the current hearing. The lay‑over preserves the bill for further work and signals committee interest in continued negotiations or amendments before a final committee recommendation.
Next steps: Senate Bill 160 will return to this committee on May 10 for additional consideration.
