Subcommittee approves base, amended, deleted and new provisos; carries over Proviso 1.72 for further review
Summary
The Public Education and Special Schools Subcommittee voted by voice to approve base provisos, amended provisos, deleted provisos and new provisos, and authorized staff to make technical conforming changes. The subcommittee carried over Proviso 1.72 (social studies testing) for further consideration.
The Public Education and Special Schools Subcommittee moved through its docket of provisos and took voice votes on a series of motions.
Motions recorded in the hearing transcript include: approval of base provisos (voice vote, approved), approval of amended provisos (motion for approval made by Representative Hayes; voice vote, approved), deletion of selected provisos (motion by Representative Dillard; voice vote, approved), approval of new provisos (voice vote, approved), and a motion to authorize staff to make technical conforming changes to proviso language consistent with subcommittee actions (voice vote, approved).
Committee members also flagged Proviso 1.72, which would require social studies testing in elementary and middle school. A committee member expressed concern about reintroducing tests that had been removed five years earlier; the subcommittee agreed to carry that proviso over for further consideration in regular session rather than approving it at the subcommittee meeting.
All recorded votes in the transcript were voice votes. The transcript records “aye” for those in favor; no recorded “no” votes or roll‑call tallies were included in the excerpt.
