Judiciary Committee reports multiple bills to House floor; fentanyl measures advance
Summary
The House Judiciary Committee approved a series of procedural motions and reported several bills — including two fentanyl bills — to the full House. Most measures were reported with committee recommendation after roll‑call votes recorded in the committee minutes.
The House Judiciary Committee recorded a series of procedural motions and reported multiple bills to the full House during a session that concluded with the Attorney General’s presentation.
Committee business included approving the previous meeting’s minutes, excusing absent members, and reporting a slate of bills to the House floor. Among the bills advanced were two fentanyl‑related measures (House Bills 4,255 and 4,256), which the committee reported with recommendations after roll‑call votes.
Key committee actions (votes recorded by the clerk): - Motion to excuse absent members: moved by Rep. Bagole; adopted by unanimous consent (members excused by no objection). - Approval of minutes from prior meeting: moved by Rep. Wozniak; approved by unanimous consent. - House Bill 4,033: moved and reported with recommendation (clerk recorded the report; roll‑call summary entered in minutes). - Substitute and report actions on House Bill 4,034: substitute adopted and bill reported to full floor with recommendation (substitute H2 adopted, roll‑call announced as 11 ayes, 0 nays, 0 passes in the record). - House Bills 4,255 and 4,256 (fentanyl bills): both were reported with recommendation. The clerk recorded each as 8 yeas, 0 nays, 3 pass (members who passed on the vote), and the bills were placed on the committee report list for the House floor. - House Bills 4,047 and 4,048: substitute adopted for HB 4,047; both HB 4,047 (as substitute H2) and HB 4,048 were reported with committee recommendation (final roll calls recorded as 11 yeas, 0 nays, 0 passes for each in the minutes).
Committee staff presided over roll calls and posted the actions to the committee record. Several bills listed public commenters on committee sign‑in sheets; those comments were noted in the committee minutes even when the commenter did not speak.
The committee concluded business and invited Attorney General Dana Nessel and her staff to present on the Department of Attorney General’s priorities and programs.
The committee adjourned with no additional votes recorded.
