Votes at a glance: actions from House State Agencies Committee (selected bills)
Summary
A compact summary of final committee actions on multiple bills heard during the House State Agencies Committee meeting: which bills passed, which failed, and which were deferred or pulled for amendment.
The House State Agencies Committee heard a long docket and recorded these outcomes on bills with formal action during the session.
Passed by the committee (to the full House or next step): - HB1896 (Rep. Britt McKenzie) — Junk Fee Elimination Act: passed (repeal of INA statute; procurement transition to Office of State Technology). - HB1683 (Rep. Mindy McAlinden) — Prohibits government procurement of EVs/components made with forced labor: passed as amended. - HB1896 related bills (procurement) and HB1041 (Rep. Wing) — Amendment adopted and bill passed as amended (vote to expunge earlier amendment and adopt new amendment). - HB1849 / SB510 (Rep./Sen. Gramlich) — Allows intergovernmental discussions for police/jurisdictional agreements on recently recognized tribal land in Fort Smith: passed. - HB1896 (see above) and HB1800 (Rep. McLendon) — Lobbyist disclosure for foreign clients: passed. - HB1837 (Rep. McElendon) — Restrictions on foreign funding of ballot measures: passed as amended. - HB1898 (Rep. Painter) — Creates Regulatory Enforcement Division consolidating ABC and ATC enforcement: passed. - SB433 (Rep. Alyssa Brown / Sen. Dotson) — Adds Ten Commandments to National Motto Display Act: passed (committee vote).
Failed or not advanced: - HB1037 (Rep. Andrew Collins) — preregistration at age 17: committee took roll call and the bill failed at this hearing.
Deferred, pulled or left for amendment/continued consideration: - HB1846 (Rep. Meeks) — Commission for the 2036 bicentennial: sponsor chose to pull the bill to prepare an amendment and present again later in the day. - SB343 (Sen. Irvin) — Fleet management / vehicle telematics: discussion continued; committee recessed and will take this bill up again at a later time.
Notes on votes and procedure: the committee frequently adopted sponsor amendments before final passage. Some bills required later action in the Senate/House and some would require constitutional amendments (HB1037 would have required two‑thirds in both chambers had it advanced). For bills that passed, committees directed staff or sponsor to coordinate with the Attorney General’s Office or implementing departments to clarify enforcement or procurement transitions.
