Legislative Administration Committee advances Senate Bill 311 after approving amendment
Summary
The Legislative Administration Committee voted to give Senate Bill 311 a "do pass" recommendation after approving an amendment in executive action; two members’ proxy aye votes were recorded during the roll call on the amendment.
The Legislative Administration Committee voted in executive action to give Senate Bill 311 a "do pass" recommendation, approving an amendment and forwarding the bill to the full Senate, committee members said.
Committee Chair Rickey called the session to order and moved the committee into executive action on Senate Bill 311. A senator moved that the bill receive a "do pass" recommendation. Later, the committee approved amendment SB0311.001.001 and then voted to move the bill as amended.
The committee considered the amendment in open discussion. Senator Fuller said the amendment reflected compromise work between the sponsor and staff, adding, "I like this amendment and I appreciate the hard work you did in working with the sponsor and Mr. Howe in getting this amendment agreed on." Chair Rickey conducted a roll call on the amendment. During the roll call, Senator Zolnick voted "aye" by proxy and Vice Chair Emmerich recorded an "aye" by proxy. After the amendment passed, Senator Dunbar moved that SB 311, as amended, be given a "do pass" recommendation. The committee approved the bill and Chair Rickey said it "passes and goes to the Senate floor."
The transcript records the formal motions and proxy votes but does not show a full named tally of all individual yea and nay votes. The amendment is identified in the record as SB0311.001.001; the mover of the amendment is not recorded by name in the transcript excerpt. The committee adjourned following the vote.
Committee members briefly discussed whether additional bills might be referred to this committee after transmittal; Chair Rickey said he would monitor whether any house bills are dropped into the committee but did not identify any pending additions.
Votes and formal actions recorded in the committee transcript are limited to the motions to give SB 311 a "do pass" recommendation, approval of amendment SB0311.001.001, and the committee's subsequent vote to forward SB 311 as amended to the Senate floor.
