Conference committee adopts amendment to House Bill 2129 to add constables
Summary
A House and Senate free conference committee adopted a conference committee amendment to the Senate-engrossed version of House Bill 2129 on April 17, 2025, adding constables to the bill’s provisions and authorizing staff to make technical and conforming changes.
The House and Senate free conference committees adopted a conference committee amendment to the Senate-engrossed version of House Bill 2129 that adds constables to the bill’s provisions during a joint session April 17, 2025, at about 9:32 a.m.
Representative Selena Bliss, who opened the House side of the meeting, said the change was a narrow correction. "It's probably the simplest thing you'll ever see or do," Bliss said, adding that constables had been inadvertently omitted and needed to be added back into the bill.
The amendment is dated April 14, 2025, at 9:12 a.m. A committee member moved to adopt the amendment and to authorize staff to make technical and conforming changes. Members on both the House and Senate sides responded with voice votes; the chair announced that the ayes had it. The transcript records no roll-call vote and does not list individual member votes.
Having completed that action, both the House Free Conference Committee and the Senate Free Conference Committee adjourned without further business.
Background: The committees did not discuss other substantive changes in the available transcript excerpt. The motion and adoption were presented as corrective and limited to adding constables to the bill’s provisions; no debate or amendments to the amendment were recorded in the provided transcript.
