Committee advances three bills and confirms professional-educator appointments by voice vote
Summary
After the ESHB 1296 hearing the committee voted (voice) to recommend due pass for House Bills 11-67, 13-93 and substitute 18-27 and to forward a slate of gubernatorial appointments to the Professional Educator Standards Board with a confirmation recommendation.
After the hour-plus hearing on ESHB 1296, the committee moved to briefings and recorded voice votes on several separate matters. Committee staff briefly presented each bill followed by a voice vote; the minutes show the motions carried "subject to signatures."
Votes recorded in committee (voice votes; counts not specified in the transcript):
- House Bill 1167: Motion that the bill receive a due-pass recommendation and be sent to the rules committee. Chair called the question; voice vote in favor. Outcome: recommended ("passed subject to signatures").
- Engrossed House Bill 1393: Motion that the bill receive a due-pass recommendation and be sent to the rules committee. Outcome: recommended (voice vote in favor; subject to signatures).
- Substitute House Bill 1827: Motion that the bill receive a due-pass recommendation and be sent to the rules committee. Outcome: recommended (voice vote in favor; subject to signatures).
Gubernatorial appointments: the committee moved and seconded a recommendation to confirm multiple nominees to the Professional Educator Standards Board (list read into the record). The committee approved the confirmation recommendation by voice vote; transcript records "subject to signatures." No roll-call tallies or individual aye/nay counts were provided in the transcript.
Notes: all three bills were briefed by staff (including Elena Becker and Alex Fair Fortune) with fiscal notes provided where applicable (staff indicated no fiscal impact for HB 1167 and HB 1393; HB 1827 had an estimated expenditure of approximately $20,000 each year). The committee took no roll-call tallies in the transcript and recorded outcomes by voice vote. The committee then adjourned.
