Committee executive action: HJ21 tabled; House Business & Labor concurs on two Senate bills
Summary
During executive action the House Business and Labor Committee considered House Joint Resolution 21 and three Senate bills. The committee moved to table HJ21 after a roll-call on an initial motion to do pass failed; the committee voted to concur on Senate Bill 227 and Senate Bill 456.
The House Business and Labor Committee met for executive action and recorded votes on a set of measures.
House Joint Resolution 21: Vice Chair Seekins-Croft moved a motion for the resolution (HJ21) to "do pass," which was decided by roll call. The committee transcript records a roll-call tally and subsequent statements that the motion failed. After the roll-call outcome, a motion to table HJ21 was offered and adopted. The committee moved HJ21 to the table.
Senate Bill 227: Vice Chair Seekins-Croft moved that the committee "concur" on SB 227, a measure that would eliminate board seals for licensing boards and use the state seal. No amendments were pending; the committee took a concurrence motion and the transcript records the committee voting to concur. Several members voted by proxy as recorded in the transcript.
Senate Bill 456: Vice Chair Seekins-Croft moved that the committee "do concur" on SB 456, a bill revising professional and occupational laws to allow certain healthcare staff to dispense drugs under specified circumstances. The committee adopted the concurrence by voice vote and recorded several proxy votes; Representative Schomer will carry the bill to the House floor.
Votes at a glance (as recorded in the committee transcript): - HJ21: Motion to "do pass" decided by roll call (motion failed); motion to table HJ21 adopted and HJ21 was placed on the table. - SB227: Motion to "concur" — adopted (voice/recorded proxies). Specific aye/nay counts not provided in the transcript beyond proxy recordings. - SB456: Motion to "concur" — adopted (voice vote); proxies recorded; bill moved to the floor and will be carried by Representative Schomer.
Why it matters: HJ21 was not advanced by a "do pass" motion and was tabled, pausing consideration. The committee's concurrence on SB227 and SB456 sends those Senate-origin measures to the House floor for further action.
Details and provenance: The committee recorded a roll call for HJ21 and recorded proxy votes for the concurrence motions; the transcript includes named proxy votes for several representatives (Schomer, Gist, Lear, Fitzpatrick, Springer, Sullivan). The transcript does not include a full single-number roll-call summary for each concur motion; when roll-call tallies were unclear the committee chair clarified outcomes on the record.
