A legislative committee on day 37 of the 2025 Georgia legislative session voted to take SB 177 off the table and later approved moving the bill forward after a recorded 9-8 vote.
Representative Gullett moved to take SB 177 off the table, and the committee chair, Chairman Parsons, called for the vote. The chair said the committee had already heard testimony and a subject-matter expert had appeared earlier; Executive Director Amati had been cited as having provided expertise during prior discussion. The transcript records the motion to take SB 177 off the table as passing (the tally for that particular roll is not specified in the transcript).
Later in the meeting members moved and seconded a motion to move SB 177. Chairman Parsons said the committee had "heard all the testimony" and asked for the will of the committee. The motion to move the bill carried by a recorded count of 9 to 8. The chair asked for the bill sponsor to be called up for further consideration.
The transcript does not include the bill text or substantive debate on SB 177 in the provided segments, only procedural steps to restore and then move the measure and the chair's statement that prior questions and an overview had been taken earlier in the week. No vote roll call names are given in the transcript for the 9-8 tally.
The committee did not state in the recorded segments where SB 177 will be referred next; the chair’s remarks indicated the sponsor would be called up for further consideration immediately after the motion carried.
