Committee agrees to adjourn debate on hands‑free driving bill to permit further consultation
Summary
Representative Britton sought unanimous consent to adjourn debate on a hands‑free driving bill to allow additional cleanup with stakeholders; the committee granted the request and adjourned debate on that item.
Representative Britton told the House Judiciary Committee he had spoken with a Mr. Covington about the hands‑free driving bill and asked unanimous consent to adjourn debate so he could consult further and “clean up that bill.” The committee granted the request by voice vote, and the chair announced the ayes had it.
Britton also noted the absence of Representative Henson due to a family medical issue. The adjournment was procedural; no roll-call vote or amendment text was recorded on the floor. Committee members indicated the bill will return to a future agenda after sponsors and staff complete technical work.
