Votes at a glance: committee advances two bills to the floor
Summary
The Senate Human Services Committee moved two bills — a recurring sprinkler bill (SB 1066) and a compliance/ODHS housekeeping bill (SB 944) — to the floor with due-pass recommendations during the March 20 work session.
The Senate Human Services Committee took roll-call action to move two bills to the full Senate floor with due-pass recommendations during the March 20 work session.
Senate Bill 1066, described briefly as the committee’s recurring sprinkler bill, was moved to the floor with a due-pass recommendation. Senator Cindy Lindtkin moved the motion; the roll call recorded “Aye” votes from Senator Nash, Senator Reynolds and Chair Elizabeth Gelser Bluen, with Senator Brzanski marked excused. Committee record: “Having received the required votes, the motion passes.”
Senate Bill 944 was also moved to the floor with a due-pass recommendation. The sponsor described the bill as aligning statute with current ODHS practice by removing a requirement that youth in independent living pay for housing expenses and authorizing exceptions to criminal-record checks for certain placements. Senator Linthicum moved SB 944; the roll call recorded “Aye” votes from Senator Nash, Senator Kosinski, Senator Reynolds, Gerry Lundkum and Chair Gelser Bluen. The chair announced the motion passed and the bill would head to the floor.
Later in the session Senator Pruzanski was allowed to reopen the work session on SB 1066 so he could cast his vote; he recorded an “aye” on SB 1066 and the work session was closed.
