Committee approves four House committee substitutes in executive session

The House Committee on Emerging Issues adopted House committee substitutes for four bills during the meeting's executive-session portion, chairing members announced after roll calls.

The votes were taken in executive session at the start of the hearing. Committee members moved to adopt substitutes and then to vote the committee substitutes "do pass." The chair called the roll and announced each final tally on the record.

Committee votes recorded in the transcript: By voice and roll call, the committee approved a House Committee substitute combining House Bills 13 89 and 10 40 (substitute ending in .02c), 11 ayes to 1 no. The committee approved the House Committee substitute for House Bill 14 46 by a roll call tally of 9 ayes, 4 noes. The committee approved the House Committee substitute for House Bill 11 90 by a roll call of 13 ayes, 0 noes. The committee approved the House Committee substitute for House Bill 6 62 by a roll call tally of 10 ayes, 3 noes.

The chair stated that the executive-session votes concluded the committee's executive session and that the hearing portion would continue with public testimony. The transcript does not record further on-floor actions for those bills during this hearing; the committee announced each outcome immediately after each roll call.
