Committee advances two consent bills to the floor
Summary
Senate Tax, Business and Transportation Committee on Feb. 28 advanced two bills on the consent calendar — House Bill 159 (energy project siting and military bases) and House Bill 456 (architect and engineering services and construction) — without public testimony.
The Senate Tax, Business and Transportation Committee on Feb. 28 approved two bills on its consent calendar and sent them to the Senate floor.
House Bill 159, an energy project siting measure affecting military bases, and House Bill 456, governing architect and engineering services for construction, were both approved on unanimous consent vote tallies recorded in committee as 8-0. Committee Chair Hamlin said those bills had been shared with both majority and minority members and would proceed without public testimony unless a committee member objected.
Both measures were listed as receiving a “do pass” recommendation and will proceed to the full Senate for further consideration. No public testimony was taken on either bill while they were on the consent calendar.
The committee adjourned later in the day after hearing a series of additional bills and presentations.
Ending: The two consent calendar measures now await action on the Senate floor. Committee minutes show no opposition in committee and the bills advance with unanimous recommendations.
