Summary
On March 6 the Arizona House reported two committee bills to engrossing (HB 2437 and HB 2594) and recorded final third‑reading outcomes on several bills (HB 2629, HB 2748, HB 2786), each of which failed on the floor; the chamber later voted to reconsider those failed third‑reading actions and returned the bills to the calendar for further action.
The Arizona House on March 6, 2025 took several procedural and substantive actions on multiple bills. Highlights:
• Committee report to engrossing: The additional Committee of the Whole reported that House Bill 2437 (as amended) and House Bill 2594 (as amended) do pass and were referred to engrossing. The clerk read the committee report into the journal.
• Third‑reading recorded outcomes: On third reading the House recorded the following outcomes (all votes shown are the roll‑call tallies read by the clerk on the floor):
– HB 2629 (electronic transactions/interchange fees): Failed on third reading, 23 ayes, 31 nays, 6 not voting. The House later adopted a motion to reconsider and returned the bill to third reading.
– HB 2748 (ticket sales/delivery timing): Failed on third reading, 21 ayes, 33 nays, 6 not voting. The House later adopted a motion to reconsider and returned the bill to third reading.
– HB 2786 (excessive speed/speed‑limiting device language): Failed on third reading, 24 ayes, 30 nays, 6 not voting. The House later adopted a motion to reconsider and returned the bill to third reading.
• Motions to reconsider: Members moved and passed motions to reconsider the failed third‑reading actions for the bills listed above; each motion ordered the bill again under the calendar for third reading. The clerk recorded the motions and their adoption on the House floor.
Why this matters: The committee report sends HB 2437 and HB 2594 forward in the House process; the failed third readings and subsequent successful motions to reconsider mean the bills remain active and may be rescheduled for further debate and votes.
