- House Bill 3 82 (specie legal tender act): The committee adopted amendment 382.1.0.1 (which clarified that the state may seize specie to satisfy court-ordered obligations such as child-support judgments and addressed capital-gains treatment) and then passed HB 3 82 once amended. The committee conducted a roll-call vote for the amendment and a roll call on final passage. The chair reported the motion passed; recorded counts for final passage were announced as 12 in favor and 4 opposed (proxies and absences were reported during the roll call).
- Senate Bill 113 (motor vehicle towing and storage lien clarifications): Committee adopted amendment 113.2.0.1 (which clarifies exemptions for insurance coverage) and then voted to concur in SB 113 once amended. The bill will move to the House floor; a House sponsor volunteered to carry the bill.
- Senate Joint Resolution 5 (SAFER Banking Act message to Congress): The committee heard the resolution and added SJR 5 to its list for future executive action; the committee said proxy votes would be resolved before any roll-call.
Procedure and proxies
Committee members used a mix of on-floor votes and proxy votes. On several roll-call items members explicitly recorded votes by proxy; the committee clerk read proxy votes during roll calls. The committee chair announced outcomes and said the measures would move to the House floor as recorded.
Ending: All three bills (HB 367, HB 382, SB 113) passed out of committee once amended and will proceed to the House floor; SJR 5 was placed on the committee’s executive-action list for later disposition.
