Committee executive action: SB184 passes; SB142 tabled; SB105 action withdrawn
Summary
During executive action the State Administration Committee unanimously approved Senate Bill 184 by voice vote; the committee tabled Senate Bill 142; action on Senate Bill 105 was withdrawn after members raised concerns about an amendment and wording.
The State Administration Committee held executive action on three Senate bills during the session recorded in the transcript.
Senate Bill 184: Committee members moved that SB184 "do pass." The measure was decided by voice vote; staff recorded proxy aye votes and the chair announced unanimous passage. Committee members then closed business and prepared for a scheduled field trip.
Senate Bill 142: A motion that SB142 "do pass" was followed by a motion to table the measure. The committee voted to table SB142; the transcript records proxy votes to table from Senators Morgeot (Morgeau), Heyman and Regier. The chair announced that SB142 had been tabled.
Senate Bill 105: The committee took up SB105 and a motion that the bill do pass was made; an amendment was offered, discussed and later withdrawn. Following discussion, the motion for due pass on SB105 was withdrawn and no final vote was taken during the recorded session.
Why it matters: executive action is the committee stage where bills are advanced, amended, tabled or otherwise disposed. SB184 passed out of committee by voice vote; SB142 has been tabled and remains pending; SB105 was not decided after members raised concerns about amendment language and enforcement.
Actions recorded in the transcript: each motion and its immediate outcome are summarized here; votes recorded by proxy are noted where the clerk announced them.
