Senate committee tables SB 52 after sponsor withdraws; measure considered dead for session
Summary
Senate Bill 52 was tabled by the Senate Judiciary Committee after notice of withdrawal from the sponsor; committee recorded the motion to table and the bill was dead for the session unless revived by further action.
Senate Bill 52 was tabled by the Senate Judiciary Committee following withdrawal notice from the sponsor. Senator Ricky moved to table the bill and the committee approved the motion by voice vote.
Committee staff noted the sponsor had properly withdrawn the measure; tabling in committee effectively removes the bill from further consideration unless a member moves to take it off the table and schedule a new hearing. The committee recorded the motion and closed executive action on SB 52 with the bill considered tabled.
No substantive testimony or debate occurred in the hearing excerpt; committee members made a brief statement that the bill had been withdrawn and the committee processed the required motion to table.
