Committee actions at a glance: three bills moved or voted on during IBL hearing

A summary of formal committee actions recorded in the transcript during the October 12 committee meeting:

House Bill 1191 (Office of Entrepreneurship): Committee adopted a sponsor amendment by voice vote and then moved a "do pass as amended" recommendation; the chair directed the bill be referred to the Appropriations Committee because the fiscal note exceeds $100,000. The motion to refer and the committee recommendation were seconded and the clerk recorded votes in the transcript; the committee carried the motion and referred the bill to Appropriations.

House Bill 13 62 (content and sponsor details discussed in committee): A motion for "do not pass" was made and seconded. The committee clerk called the roll and the transcript records multiple "yes" votes; the committee carried the motion for "do not pass." Committee members said the bill lacked necessary mechanics and amendments and that some sponsors could return with a better-drafted measure.

House Bill 1086 (referred matter regarding cigarette ignition propensities and firefighter protection enforcement fund): Committee approved a motion to re-refer House Bill 1086 to Appropriations (to address stranded fees and fiscal technicalities) with a voice vote. The chair said the amendment incorporating the re-referral would be submitted to Legislative Council for final drafting and that the Appropriations Committee would receive the updated text.

These were the formal recorded actions in the transcript; many other items in the hearing were testimony-only and did not result in committee votes.
