Senate Rules Committee advances three bills to Rules calendar
Summary
The Senate Rules Committee voted unanimously to place Senate Bill 52, Senate Resolution 58 and Senate Bill 81 on the Rules calendar for the upcoming session; motion made by Sen. Albers and seconded by Sen. Robertson.
The Senate Rules Committee on Feb. 13, 2025, voted unanimously to place three measures — Senate Bill 52, Senate Resolution 58 and Senate Bill 81 — on the Rules calendar for consideration on Tuesday, a move supporters said will move the measures one step closer to floor debate.
Senator Albers moved to place the three items on the calendar; Senator Robertson seconded. "All in favor, say aye," the chair called; after the ayes, the chair said, "Motion passes unanimous." The committee record shows the motion carried without recorded individual roll-call votes.
Committee members discussed numerous other bills during the meeting but limited the formal calendar vote to the three measures. Speakers referenced several bills by title earlier in the session, including proposals on judiciary staffing, timber relief, patient access to non‑FDA treatments and motor‑vehicle franchise law updates, but those items were not part of the committee's calendar motion.
The committee did not record a roll-call tally in the meeting transcript for the calendar motion; the chair characterized the outcome as unanimous. No amendments or referral conditions were recorded in the transcript for the three items added to the calendar.
