Committee adopts multiple substitutes; three bills cleared for next steps
Summary
The House committee adopted several house committee substitutes and voted several bills to pass in a packed session, including adoption of substitutes for House Bill 378 and a combined substitute for House Bills 296 and 438; later the committee voted House Bill 671 do pass.
The House committee adopted several committee substitutes and advanced multiple bills during its meeting.
The committee first adopted a House Committee Substitute ending in 0.04C, after a voice vote, then voted the substitute for House Bill 378 "do pass" with a roll call showing 15 ayes and 0 noes. The committee later adopted a substitute for House Bills 296 and 438 and approved the combined substitute on a roll call of 11 ayes and 4 present. The committee also later voted that House Bill 671 "do pass" (final tally below).
Why it matters: Committee substitutes change the text lawmakers consider on the floor; adoption at committee is the primary step before a bill reaches the full House for debate or floor action. The items advanced included measures the committee chairs characterized as technical fixes or policy consolidations.
