Committee advances several judicial and court-administration bills to Ways and Means or the floor
Summary
During a March 3 work session the Senate Judiciary Committee approved due-pass recommendations or adopted amendments for a series of bills affecting judges, salaries, marriage-license fees, liability for recreational land use and minimum marriage age; most items were sent to the floor or to Ways and Means with committee amendments.
The Senate Committee on Judiciary conducted a series of work sessions on March 3 and forwarded multiple bills with recommendations or adopted amendments.
- Senate Bill 95: The committee adopted a motion by Senator Thatcher to recommend SB 95 for passage and to refer the bill to the Committee on Ways and Means by prior reference. Vice Chair Acher and Chair Prozanski recorded "aye" during the voice vote and the motion carried.
- Senate Bill 96: The committee adopted the dash-1 amendment and then moved SB 96, as amended, to the floor with a due-pass recommendation and referral to Ways and Means. Recorded "aye" votes during the final motion included Senator Roberts, Senator Galser (name listed in record), Senator Manning, Senator McLean, Vice Chair Thatcher and Senator Koski; the motion carried.
- Senate Bill 97: The committee adopted the dash-2 amendment (the dash-1 had been adopted earlier) and moved SB 97, as amended, to the floor with a due-pass recommendation. A roll-call portion of the record shows multiple senators voiced "aye" and the motion carried.
- Senate Bill 179: The committee adopted the dash-1 amendment clarifying references to equine and application dates and moved SB 179 as amended to the floor with a due-pass recommendation.
- Senate Bill 548: The committee moved SB 548 (raising the marriageable age to 18 and repealing the 17-year parental-consent provision) to the floor with a due-pass recommendation; the record shows a roll-call with multiple "aye" votes and the motion carried. The chair designated two senators to carry the bill on the floor.
The committee recorded the adoption of amendments and due-pass recommendations; votes were by voice and multiple senators are listed in the transcript as having voted "aye." The committee took no final floor action itself; bills were referred as noted to Ways and Means or placed on the floor as committee-carried measures.
