Committee gives due-pass recommendation to Tyler’s Law (House Bill 1209) after executive-session briefing
Summary
The Senate Business, Financial Services, Gaming & Trade Committee moved House Bill 1209 (Tyler’s Law) to the Rules Committee with a due-pass recommendation following an executive-session briefing; the motion passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
Committee staff briefed substitute House Bill 1209 (companion to Senate Bill 5178) in executive session and described the bill’s main provisions. The bill would prohibit the sale and transfer of products containing sodium nitride in concentrations greater than 10% except to verified commercial businesses or institutions that require the product for their operations. It would establish labeling and recordkeeping requirements, create civil penalties and causes of action, and designate violations as violations of the Consumer Protection Act, enabling recovery of fees, costs and damages.
Staff said the bill was a companion to Senate Bill 5178, passed earlier in committee, and noted a prior House passage margin of 91–4. The committee reconvened from caucus and a member moved that House Bill 1209 receive a due-pass recommendation and be sent to the Rules Committee. The motion was adopted by voice vote; committee members signaled “aye” and no opposition was recorded in the transcript. The chair noted Senator Stanford was absent and that senators would have 24 hours for signatures.
No amendments or fiscal impacts were reported in the committee record excerpted in the transcript. The committee then adjourned.
