House Judiciary: committee actions and roll-call results on bills including social‑media, immigration, and multiple judicial measures
Summary
During executive action the House Judiciary Committee advanced multiple bills, including passage of House Bill 9 25 (social media protections) and House Bill 9 27 (mandatory‑reporting expansion). The committee also concurred in a number of Senate bills and tabled one House bill.
What the committee did today: the House Judiciary Committee completed executive action on a set of bills after hearings and debate earlier in the day. The committee reported several bills to the full House (or to the relevant chamber) and acted on a mix of House and Senate measures. Below are the formal motions, outcomes and vote summaries recorded on the transcript.

- Senate Bill 239 (search-and-seizure, earlier judicial matters) and others: the committee concurred in several additional Senate bills and amendments during executive session; some were recorded with roll-call tallies, others were concluded by voice vote or shown with proxy votes in the record.
- Senate Bill 329 / SB 329‑related action (employment verification / related amendments): amendment adopted; committee concurred; roll call recorded 13 yes, 7 no for the amendment in that item.
Where to find details: the committee transcript contains the full roll-call statements and the clerk's announced tallies for each recorded vote. Several motions were approved after adoption of amendments; the transcript lists the mover for each motion (commonly Vice Chair Deming) and shows proxies for some members not present.
What to watch next: bills reported from committee will advance to the House floor, where members can offer additional amendments and the full House will vote. Several items — especially HB 9 25 and HB 9 27 — drew broad public testimony and are likely to generate follow-up questions about enforcement, fiscal impact and potential litigation. Other measures that the committee concurred in modify court procedures and judicial-administration matters; those may prompt consideration from the judiciary and legal community.
