House Judiciary recommends ‘do not pass’ on two Senate gaming-related bills after House Bill 1489 covers provisions
Summary
The committee reconsidered prior recommendations on Senate Bills 22-89 and 23-26 after Legislative Council placed their provisions into House Bill 1489, and the committee voted 11-0 to recommend do not pass on each bill.
The House Judiciary Committee on April 7 reconsidered two Senate bills — Senate Bill 22-89 and Senate Bill 23-26 — after Legislative Council told the committee their provisions had been incorporated into House Bill 1489, which the Senate passed April 7. The committee voted to rescind its earlier recommendations and to recommend “do not pass” for both Senate bills.
For Senate Bill 22-89: Representative Satrim moved to reconsider the committee’s prior due-pass-as-amended recommendation; Representative Carls seconded. The motion to reconsider passed on a roll call (11-0). Representative Twyte then moved that the committee recommend “do not pass” on the unamended bill; Representative Wolff seconded. The committee voted 11-0 (with three members absent) to recommend do not pass.
For Senate Bill 23-26: Representative Schneider moved to reconsider the committee’s prior action; Representative Carls seconded and the motion carried on roll call (11-0). Representative Schneider then moved, and Representative Satrim seconded, a motion to recommend “do not pass” on the bill. The committee voted 11-0 (three absent) to recommend do not pass. Chairman Clamine said he will carry both bills forward.
The committee recorded the roll-call votes during the meeting; in each do-not-pass motion the committee recorded 11 members voting in favor and no votes opposed. The transcript shows three members absent for both final do-not-pass recommendations. No further debate occurred after the votes and the committee adjourned.
