House Energy committee: votes on bills and resolutions including HB 392, HB 350 and two joint resolutions
Summary
During executive action the committee recorded votes on several bills and joint resolutions: the Child Digital Protection Act (HB 392) passed as amended; HB 350 passed; HJ 12 passed; HJ 13 failed; and the committee concurred in SB 22, SB 23 and SB 51.
The House Energy, Technology and Governmental Affairs Committee completed executive action on multiple items after hearing testimony earlier in the session.
Key outcomes recorded in committee:
- House Bill 392 (Child Digital Protection Act): The committee adopted Amendment 0392.001.001 (which removed "Internet access service" from the bill’s definition and changed a reporting cadence from "ongoing" to an "annual basis") and then moved that the amended bill do pass. The committee recorded the passage of the amended bill by voice count with 14 ayes and 0 nos.
- House Bill 350 (prohibiting enforcement of certain intergovernmental policies): The committee moved that HB 350 do pass and recorded a roll‑call vote with 8 ayes and 6 nos.
- HJ 12 (joint resolution requesting Congress not to require electric vehicle purchase mandates): The committee recorded a roll‑call concurrence vote of 8 ayes and 6 nos.
- HJ 13 (convention of states joint resolution proposing amendment to set term limits on members of Congress): The committee recorded a roll‑call vote and HJ 13 failed in committee, 5 ayes and 9 nos. A substitute motion to table the resolution was then adopted; committee clerks recorded 14 ayes on the motion to table.
- Senate bills heard earlier in the session — SB 22 (garbage‑hauler hearing deadline), SB 23 (railroad reporting threshold) and SB 51 (telecom registration cleanup) — were each the subject of executive action in which the committee concurred. The recorded count on those concurrence motions was 14 ayes and 0 nos for each bill.
Committee members offered brief remarks in support or opposition during recorded roll calls: several members who voted no on certain items explained their reasoning on the record during the roll calls (for example, members who described some measures as duplicative or unnecessary because current practice already met the resolution’s stated goals).
Formal vote tallies recorded by the committee clerk during the session are summarized in the 'Votes at a glance' section below.
