Committee executive actions: summary of votes and amendments on multiple senate bills

The House Business and Labor Committee moved multiple senate bills forward in executive action after committee hearings.

Key outcomes (motions and recorded outcomes during the meeting):

- Senate Bill 104 — Motion to "do concur" (moved by Vice Chair Seekins Crowe). The committee approved the motion by voice vote and the bill will move to the House floor. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.

- Senate Bill 166 — The committee considered and adopted amendment 166.1.0.1 (sponsor amendment) before voting on the bill. The amendment removed language that would have required an initial CPA applicant to have at least 150 semester hours; after adopting the amendment by voice vote the committee approved the amended bill by voice vote. Several members were recorded voting by proxy for the concurrence motion (Representative Fitzpatrick, Representative Lear, Representative Sprunger and Representative Sullivan were recorded as voting aye by proxy).

- Senate Bill 198 — The committee considered a motion to "do concur" and Representative Carter offered a substitute motion to table SB 198. The substitute motion to table was put to a roll-call vote and failed (the transcript records the substitute motion failing after a roll call and lists mixed yea/nay responses). The committee then returned to the original motion to "do concur" on SB 198 and passed that motion on a roll-call vote; the transcript records a final tally described as 12 yes, 4 no and 8 recorded as otherwise (the clerk's summary language in the transcript is imprecise; the committee announced the motion as passed and the bill will move to the House floor).

- Senate Bill 233 — The committee voted to "do concur" by voice vote; the bill will move to the House floor.

- Senate Bill 279 (Dietitian Licensure Compact) — The committee voted to "do concur" by voice vote; the bill will move to the House floor.

- Senate Bill 347 — The committee voted to "do concur" by voice vote; the bill will move to the House floor.

Several members and staff clarified draft changes and conflicts for bills during the meeting; legislative counsel distributed amendments and advised members about conflict checks on bills received from the Senate. The committee recorded proxy votes for several members in multiple motions.

The committee recessed at the end of executive action; the transcript does not show further roll-call breakdowns beyond those noted above.
