Conference committee pauses consideration of proposal, will reconvene at 9:30 a.m.

On June 12 the conference committee paused deliberations on a proposal and said it would reconvene at 9:30 a.m. the following morning after several members said they needed more time to consult with colleagues.

The committee acknowledged progress on drafting but also noted resistance from within the caucus and from observers. "Thank you for this proposal. Really see how you tried to, meet some of the aims that we were getting at, and sort of stick to that framework," said Unnamed committee member A, a committee member. "Unfortunately, we're in a position right now where, many, many folks both sort of watching this, and within our caucus and our chamber want us to walk away. And so I think we really need to sleep on it, so that we can, come back in the morning with, what we think next steps are."

Committee members described the pause as a chance to reassess and consult with colleagues rather than as a final rejection. Unnamed committee member B, a committee member, confirmed scheduling details during the session: "We do 9. I'm sorry. Yeah. We close with the time and say 09:30." Unnamed committee member C, a committee member, added, "We'll be there."

The discussion produced no formal motion or recorded vote in the transcript. The outcome recorded in the meeting was a procedural postponement of further action until the committee reconvenes; no substantive decision was made on the proposal during the session.

The committee’s next steps are to reconvene at 9:30 a.m. the following day and to report back any changes or decisions then; the transcript does not specify a year or provide additional follow-up deadlines.
