Committee members said the substitute makes cleanup changes and mirrors Senate language; the committee adopted the substitute ending in 0.02 C and voted the house committee substitute do pass 13‑0.
Chairman Christ opened an executive session on House Bill 534, which Representative Deal sponsors, and moved that the bill be voted "do pass." The chairman said the committee had a substitute that "is just a cleanup language that went through the Senate on this bill" and noted the bill had passed the Senate the prior week by a 27‑5 margin.
Committee members discussed briefly and then adopted the substitute (identified in committee as ending in "0.02 C"). The committee then voted the House committee substitute for HB 534 "do pass."

"It has been distributed and I move for its adoption," Chairman Christ said of the substitute, adding that the changes were cleanup language and that the bill had passed the Senate 27 to 5.
The committee's adoption of the substitute and the recorded 13‑0 vote conclude the executive session action taken on HB 534 in this meeting.
