Executive action roundup: committee advances several election bills, tables others
Summary
The Senate State Administration Committee completed executive action on multiple bills during transmittal week: it advanced several bills (including SB 25, SB 276, SB 226, SB 226, SB 303, SB 360, SB 494, SB 25 etc.) and tabled a small number (SB 220, SB 298, SB 339? SB 440). This summary lists outcomes recorded in the transcript.
During its Feb. 7 executive action session the Senate State Administration Committee disposed of a batch of bills that were before it for transmittal. Below is a concise, factual summary of the recorded outcomes in the committee transcript (motions and roll calls occurred in the order recorded).
Votes at a glance - SB 25: Passed in executive action (amendment adopted; voice vote recorded). Sponsor: (noted in transcript). Outcome: do pass. - SB 220: Tabled in executive action. Outcome: tabled. - SB 276: Passed (two amendments adopted); outcome: do pass as amended. - SB 226: Passed as amended; outcome: do pass. - SB 226 (secondary reference): Passed (committee voice vote recorded). - SB 303: Passed as amended (amendment adopted, fiscal note addressed in committee). Outcome: do pass as amended. - SB 494: Advanced as amended after roll-call votes on amendment and final passage in committee (committee roll call on final passage recorded 5–4). Outcome: do pass as amended and advance to the Senate floor. - SB 360: Passed (definitions bill) — committee voice vote recorded in favor. - SB 298: Tabled; vote recorded 4–5 on tabling motion. - SB 440: Tabled; committee recorded “without objection, 440 has been tabled.”
What this means - Bills recorded as “do pass” in committee will proceed to the full Senate for floor consideration. Those tabled were set aside during executive action and will not advance unless the committee later takes them from the table.
Notes - Several bills were amended during executive action. Text of committee amendments is recorded in the committee packet and the transcript references proposed amendment numbers; committee members and staff noted that further drafting or technical fixes may be required on the House side. - The transcript records a number of close roll-call results and several voice‑vote approvals; committee clerks should be consulted for certified roll-call records and final amendment text prior to publication or for legal citation.
Ending: This roundup summarizes the committee’s recorded actions during the transmittal‑week meeting on Feb. 7; individual bills remain subject to floor action and potential amendments later in the session.
