Committee of the Whole reports dozens of House bills as 'do pass' after calendar consideration
Summary
The Arizona Senate Committee of the Whole considered a long calendar and returned multiple House bills with 'do pass' recommendations, many with committee or floor amendments adopted; the session recorded committee reporting but does not include final Senate passage roll‑call tallies in the excerpt.
After convening a Committee of the Whole on April 22, the Arizona Senate read numerous House bills by number and title, adopted committee and floor amendments where noted, and returned the bills to the calendar with "do pass" recommendations.
Bills recorded as receiving a due‑pass recommendation in the Committee of the Whole included (by bill number): HB 2201 (wildfire mitigation, as amended), HB 2272 (stormwater/residential provisions), HB 2368 (auditor general/financial institution reporting), HB 2380 (Health and Human Services matters, as amended), HB 2437, HB 2439, HB 2440, HB 2518, HB 2611 (as amended), HB 2720s and other bills listed on the calendar. Several bills were taken together and reported with committee endorsements; some had technical or conforming floor amendments adopted.
Where amendments were recorded, the transcript shows committee amendment adoption followed by motions that the Committee of the Whole recommend the bill as amended for a due pass. In several instances senators explained floor amendments as "technical conforming changes" or described substantive clarifications (for example, the education substitute for HB 2540 clarifying testing accommodations and reporting). The Committee of the Whole report was then adopted by the full Senate and the bills were assigned for further processing.
The session transcript logs the Committee of the Whole's reader report summarizing the committee's recommendations and the Senate's vote to adopt the committee‑of‑the‑whole report. The transcript excerpt does not include detailed roll‑call tallies for each bill's final disposition on the floor, nor does it show final enactment or gubernatorial action.
