Judiciary committee advances three measures — due-pass for security-certification bill, amendment and due-pass for small-claims changes, referral of ticketing-b
Summary
During work sessions the Senate Judiciary Committee moved House Bill 2,183 A to the floor with a due-pass recommendation, adopted dash-2 amendments to House Bill 2,463 and moved it with a due-pass recommendation to the floor, and referred House Bill 3,167 without recommendation to the Senate Labor and Business Committee.
At the April 28 meeting the Senate Committee on Judiciary completed work sessions on three bills and took formal committee actions.
House Bill 2,183 A (private security certification) - Motion: Senator Thatcher moved to refer HB 2,183 A to the floor with a due-pass recommendation. The motion passed in committee. Recorded voices in the hearing included members saying "Aye." The clerk announced, "Motion carries. Bill's on its way to the floor." Senator Thacher (sic) was asked to carry the bill to the floor.
House Bill 2,463 (small claims adjustments) - Motion: The committee considered and adopted the dash-2 amendment (changes included extending the response deadline from 14 to 30 days and other conforming edits) on a voice/roll call. Senator Thatcher moved adoption of the dash-2. Several senators voiced assent; the chair announced the motion carried and the dash-2 was made part of the bill. The committee then voted to move HB 2,463 as amended to the floor with a due-pass recommendation; the committee roll call showed multiple "aye" votes and the chair said, "Motion carries." Senator McLean agreed to carry the bill to the floor.
House Bill 3,167 (ticket resale transparency) - Motion: Senator Thatcher moved to move HB 3,167 without recommendation and request referral to the Senate Committee on Labor and Business. Committee discussion recorded at least two members signaling opposition to sending the bill with a favorable recommendation (Senator MacLean stated she would vote "no"; another committee member also signaled a "no"). The motion to refer without recommendation carried and the bill was sent to the Senate Labor and Business Committee for further consideration.
The committee's work-session actions were procedural votes to move measures out of the Judiciary Committee to the next Senate stage or to a committee that handles related jurisdictional issues. Detailed roll-call tallies were not recorded in every instance in the public hearing transcript; the committee record shows the chair announcing each motion carried and the bills progressed as described above.
