Committee reports Senate Joint Memorial 8005 to the floor with due-pass recommendation after roll call

The Consumer Protection & Business Committee took executive action Wednesday on Senate Joint Memorial 8005 and voted to report it to the floor with a "do pass" recommendation.

Representative Reeves moved that the memorial be reported out with a due-pass recommendation; the motion was seconded (second not named on record). Representative Santos spoke in favor, urging support as a consumer-protection measure tied to the historical Glass-Steagall reforms and federal action. Representative Khoury spoke in opposition, saying the issue was a complex federal matter and that the state should work with federal partners rather than send a directive letter. The chair recommended a yes vote.

Staff called the roll. The committee recorded the following votes: Wallen — aye; McClintock — excused; Dufo — nay (nay without recommendation recorded in the transcript); Abarno — nay without recommendation; Berry — aye; Corey — nay without recommendation; Donaghy — aye; Fosse — aye; Kloba — aye; Morgan — aye; Reeves — aye; Ryu — aye; Santos — aye; Steele — nay (do not pass recorded); Vols — nay without recommendation. The clerk reported "9 aye, 5 nay, and 1 excused." The chair announced that Senate Joint Memorial 8005 "is reported out of committee with a due pass recommendation."

Ending: The memorial will proceed from committee with the committee's recommendation; the committee concluded its business and recessed.
