Committee considers concurring in Senate amendment to House Bill 1056 to change 'shall' to 'may'
Summary
A committee member asked the House Rules Committee to concur in a Senate amendment to House Bill 1056 that would change a mandated term from "shall" to "may." A motion to adopt the amendment was made; no roll-call vote or formal tally appears in the transcript.
An unidentified committee member asked the House Rules Committee to concur in a Senate amendment to House Bill 1056 that would change language from "shall" to "may." The speaker said the bill previously passed the floor by a large margin and that the change would be a cleanup to align the language.
The request to concur was presented as a reasonable technical change. "We caught a word in there, that we need to clean up changing from shall to may. Makes good sense. I agree to the amendment, and I would, ask this committee to concur in that as well," the committee member said.
A fellow member moved to adopt the amendment. The transcript records the motion but does not record a second or a roll-call vote for this item; no questions or debate on the change are recorded in the provided transcript segment.
Because the transcript does not include a formal vote tally or names tied to a recorded vote for this specific motion, the committee's final disposition on concurring in the Senate amendment for House Bill 1056 is not specified in the transcript.
The meeting moved on to another item after the motion to adopt was made.
