Appropriations Committee votes to take up and "block" package of bills, reports them to the floor
The Appropriations Committee approved a motion to take up and "block" a package of bills and reported them to the Senate floor, the committee chair said.

Senator Wiggins moved “to take all the bills up and block, to take them all up and block,” and members voted in favor, according to the meeting record. After that vote, Wiggins moved that the bills be given title sufficient and recommended as due pass; that motion also passed. The session concluded with the chair saying the committee would "rise and report" and proceed to the floor.

The package was described in the meeting as “Senate House bills 42 1 through 50, I believe. Correct? Except for 49,” language the mover used while proposing the block. Committee members gave vocal assent to both the block motion and the title‑sufficient, due‑pass recommendation. There was no substantive debate on the bills recorded in the transcript excerpt provided.

The actions recorded were procedural: (1) a motion to take the listed bills up and block them for consideration as a group, (2) a motion that the bills be deemed title sufficient with a due‑pass recommendation, and (3) the committee's adjournment to report the actions to the floor. No amendments, roll‑call tallies, or dissents appear in the provided transcript segment.

The transcript records the motions and brief votes but does not list the full bill texts, sponsors beyond the mover, or any committee discussion of the bills' merits. The committee indicated it would present the package on the Senate floor for further consideration.
