SB 429: Senator Ricky moved an amendment (SB0429.001.002) to a revised package of criminal‑procedure changes related to detention and restoration of fitness. The committee approved the amendment by voice vote and then moved the underlying bill as amended. A roll‑call recorded seven votes in favor and one opposed; the committee reported SB 429 out of committee.

SB 430: Senator Ricky moved an amendment to SB 430 after stakeholder negotiations; the amendment passed by voice vote. The committee then voted to pass SB 430 as amended; the motion carried by voice vote with proxies recorded for some members. The committee reported SB 430 out of committee.
