Consumer Protection & Business Committee reports three bills out of committee; one roll-call recorded
Summary
At the close of the hearing day the committee moved three bills to the next stage. House Bills 1230 and 1341 were reported out by voice vote (15–0 present and recorded as affirmative). House Bill 1526 was reported out after a roll-call vote, 14 ayes, 1 nay (Representative Ryu).
After public hearings, the Consumer Protection & Business Committee recessed and then moved to committee action on several bills. Committee members reported three bills out of committee with "due pass" recommendations.
Representative Christine Reeves moved that House Bill 1230 be reported out of committee with a due pass recommendation. Committee staff described HB 1230 as legislation requiring experience-rated group disability income insurers to include detailed experience-rating formulas in filings with the Insurance Commissioner; the Insurance Commissioner concurred. The committee used a voice vote; the chair announced 15 members present and 15 voting in the affirmative, and the bill was reported out with a due pass recommendation.
The committee then moved House Bill 1341, which implements a Liquor and Cannabis Board data-sharing change to permit verification of excise tax exemptions through the medical cannabis authorization database. Representative Reeves moved the bill; staff said the Liquor and Cannabis Board told them no personally identifying information would be shared and the verification would use card registration numbers. The committee again used a voice vote; the chair announced 15 members present and 15 voting in the affirmative and reported the bill out with a due pass recommendation.
Finally, Representative Reeves moved to report House Bill 1526 out of committee with a due pass recommendation. Representative Steele offered remarks in support; Representative Frijell voiced a no vote on policy grounds about alcohol availability. The committee conducted a roll-call standing committee report. The staff tally read: 14 ayes, 1 nay, 0 absent or excused. Representative Ryu registered the lone nay on the record. By the announced vote the committee reported House Bill 1526 out of committee with a due pass recommendation.
Each motion was seconded (a second was recorded though a seconder's name was not specified in the transcript). The committee recorded no amendments to these motions during the session. The bills were reported to the next stage with due pass recommendations as reflected in the standing committee report.
