Votes at a glance: committee tables HB 410; substitute to table HB 413 fails, due-pass vote on HB 413 incomplete in transcript

The House State Administration Committee took executive action on multiple election- and tax-related bills.

House Bill 410 (bond and mill levy elections): After discussion, a motion that House Bill 410 "do pass" failed on a roll call (four ayes, 15 no). A substitute motion to table the bill was then moved and the committee recorded that House Bill 410 was tabled.

Representative Schubert, who spoke in support, described HB 410 as requiring a 35% participation threshold for standalone mill-levy elections not held with a primary or general election in an even-numbered year. Opponents and one committee member noted substantial opposition from cities and other jurisdictions during the bill's earlier hearing. Representative Schubert and others argued the bill aims to address property-tax concerns by increasing turnout requirements; critics said turnout thresholds are not the proper statutory response and noted broad municipal opposition.

House Bill 413 (residency definition for voting): The committee considered House Bill 413, which revises election laws regarding residency and clarifies temporary residency definitions for voter qualification. A substitute motion to table HB 413 was moved from the floor; the substitute succeeded in securing a roll call but failed by a vote of 8 ayes, 11 no. The committee returned to the original motion for a "do pass" on HB 413, and a roll call began in the transcript, but the provided excerpt ends before a final tally on the original motion was recorded.

The committee discussion on HB 413 included concerns that the bill could prevent some workers or students from voting at their residence for years, and a committee member suggested the domicile-versus-residence distinction may merit an interim study.
