- House Bill 14-35 (code alignment/consent-calendar move): Committee members debated whether the bill conflicts with earlier action; Representative Porter moved a do-not-pass but later the committee voted to move HB14-35 to the consent calendar. The transcript records the motion to move the bill to the consent calendar as carried; committee remarks referenced vote tallies in the transcript (e.g., "13 0 1 1").

- House Bill 15-72 and related small bills and study items: Several minor bills and study language items were discussed and, where noted, were set aside for study or amended into other study proposals.
