Votes at a glance: House Transportation Infrastructure Committee reports multiple bills in road‑funding package
Summary
The House Transportation Infrastructure Committee voted on a package of bills (House Bills 41‑80 through 41‑87 and House Bill 42‑30). Substitutes were adopted for several bills and the committee reported the bills with recommendation to the full House as substitutes; the committee record lists motions and roll calls for each item.
What happened: During the committee meeting members voted on a package of transportation funding measures and on House Bill 42 30 (the neighborhood roads fund). For most bills the committee adopted a committee substitute (often labeled Substitute H‑1 or H‑2) and then voted to report the bill to the full House with the committee recommendation.
Bills voted on and committee actions (as recorded in the committee transcript):
- House Bill 41‑80: Committee considered and adopted a substitute and reported the bill with recommendation as Substitute H‑1. - House Bill 41‑81: Substitute adopted; committee reported the bill with recommendation as Substitute H‑1. - House Bill 41‑82: Substitute adopted; committee reported the bill with recommendation as Substitute H‑1. - House Bill 41‑83: Substitute adopted (Sub H‑2 in the committee) and reported with recommendation as Substitute H‑2. - House Bill 41‑84: Substitute adopted; committee reported the bill with recommendation as Substitute H‑1. - House Bill 41‑85: Substitute adopted (Sub H‑2 included language to backfill constitutional revenue sharing for cities, villages and townships); committee reported the bill with recommendation as Substitute H‑2. - House Bill 41‑86: Substitute adopted; committee reported the bill with recommendation as Substitute H‑1. - House Bill 41‑87: Substitute adopted; committee reported the bill with recommendation as Substitute H‑1 after floor amendments and recorded amendment votes in committee minutes. - House Bill 42‑30: Substitute adopted; committee reported the bill with recommendation as Substitute H‑1 (see separate article for bill details).
How to read the record: For each bill the committee transcript records the motion to adopt a substitute, the roll‑call responses by members, and a clerk statement of the result. In several cases the transcript shows passage of the substitute by a strong majority; some subsequent “report with recommendation” roll calls recorded members as voting yea, nay or passing. Where the transcript omitted an explicit roll‑call tally in clean numeric form, the committee reported the motion as prevailing and recorded the bill as reported with recommendation.
Amendments and failed motions: The transcript includes multiple attempted floor amendments in committee (for example, an amendment to keep $50 million for a housing and community development fund and other amendments proposing allocations to the Comprehensive Transportation Fund). Several of those amendments were moved and failed on recorded voice/roll calls in committee.
Next steps: Reported bills will proceed to the House floor for further consideration. Committee action means the bills move forward with the committee’s recommended substitute language; final text and any additional amendments will be available when each bill is placed on the House calendar.
