Rules Committee recommends multiple measures constitutional in mass motion
Summary
The Rules Committee recorded a unanimous recommendation (7-0, 1 absence) on a package of bills moved in a mass motion; committee staff said each measure had been reviewed and found constitutional and in proper form.
The Rules Committee voted to recommend a slate of Senate measures are constitutional and in proper form by a 7-0 vote with one absence after a mass motion from the vice chair.
Vice Chair Carter moved a mass motion listing multiple Senate bills and asking the committee to recommend each is constitutional and in proper form. Jennifer, a staff member who reviewed the measures, said the committee staff had reviewed each of those measures and "we do believe that they are constitutional and in proper form." The secretary then called the roll and the committee recorded 7 ayes, 0 nays and 1 absence and the chairman announced the recommendation.
The bills listed in the mass motion as read into the record were: "1,001, 10 20 4, 10 70 2, 10 80 7, 10 90 4, 11 60 4, 12 12, 12 30 6, 13 70 7, 14 60 2, 14 90 3, 14 90 4, 15 10, 15 20, 15 20 9, 15 30, 16 40 9, and 16 59." The transcript records the numbers as read; specific bill titles, sponsors, and subject matter for each numbered measure were not specified during the mass motion.
The committee did not discuss individual measures listed in the mass motion on the record during that vote, and no separate roll-call tallies for the individual bills were recorded at the meeting.
