Senate transportation committee skips multiple bills for lack of presenters and adjourns
Summary
During a short session, the Senate Transportation, Technology & Legislative Affairs committee passed over eight bills after no sponsors or presenters appeared and then adjourned without taking votes.
Unknown Speaker, an unidentified committee presider, announced that several bills listed on the committee calendar would be passed over because no one appeared to present them.
The items mentioned and their immediate status, as stated on the record, included: SB 397 (“we're gonna pass over that”); HB 166 (“we're gonna pass over that”); HB 1654 (no presenter; “we'll skip over it”); HB 1606 (no presenter; “we'll skip over it”); SB 96 (not running tonight); SB 447 (no presenter); SB 478 (no presenter); and SB 492 (no presenter). The committee did not call for or record votes on any of those items.
The lack of presenters caused the committee to postpone consideration of most listed bills to a future date. For SB 96, the presider noted the bill “is not running yet tonight,” indicating it was not scheduled for consideration that session. After skipping the remaining calendar items, the presider declared the meeting adjourned.
The committee record does not include motions, seconds, roll-call votes, or a new date for rescheduling the items. No public testimony or substantive debate on the bills was recorded in the provided transcript segments.
