Summary
After reviewing the Senate amendments to H.454, the Ways & Means committee voted 10‑0‑1 to recommend a committee of conference to resolve House and Senate differences; Representative Hudgley was recorded absent.
Following the briefing and discussion of the Senate proposal of amendment to H.454, the Ways & Means committee took a procedural vote on whether to recommend appointing members to a committee of conference that would negotiate differences between the House and Senate versions.
The committee recorded a 10‑0‑1 vote recommending a committee of conference. The committee chair called the roll; members announced their votes on the record. The committee recorded one absence: Representative Hudgley.
The recommendation does not change statutory text; it authorizes the committee to name negotiators and begin conference work between the two chambers. Committee leadership said members would continue to review House Education committee hearings and asked staff to prepare materials for members expected to serve in conference.
