Senate grants waiver to schedule hearing on SB 946
Summary
Senator San Buenaventura requested and the Senate president granted a waiver under Senate Rule 21 so committees can hold a public hearing on Senate Bill 946 Friday, Jan. 31 at 1 p.m. in Conference Room 225; notice was filed in the clerk's office the morning of the meeting.
The Senate granted a waiver of the public-notice requirement to allow a hearing on Senate Bill 946, after a senator said the measure had been inadvertently left off the original hearing notice.
Senator San Buenaventura requested the waiver under Senate Rule 21 and said the bill had been omitted from the original notice; the president granted the waiver and the committees set a hearing for Friday, Jan. 31 at 1 p.m. in Conference Room 225.
The waiver was requested “pursuant to Senate Rule 21,” Senator San Buenaventura said, adding, “The reason for such waiver was that SB number 9 4 6 was inadvertently left off the original hearing notice.” The president then said, “The waiver is granted.”
Senator San Buenaventura announced that the committees on Health and Human Services and on Agriculture and Environment will hold the public hearing and that “the notice was filed in the clerk’s office this morning.” The announcement did not include further details on the content of SB 946.
The scheduling action follows the Senate’s routine practice of referring measures to the appropriate committees and filing hearing notices with the clerk once procedural issues are resolved. No formal vote was recorded on the floor; the president granted the waiver after the request was made.
