Committee adopts substitutes and votes due‑pass on two government‑efficiency bills in executive session
Summary
During executive session the committee combined amendments, adopted substitutes and voted 'do pass' on a committee substitute for House Bill 247 (vote 17 ayes, 2 present) and on a committee substitute for House Bill 799 (vote 16 ayes, 3 no).
The House Committee on Government Efficiency moved into executive session and took procedural actions and roll‑call votes on multiple bills and amendments.
Key recorded actions in the executive session: - The committee adopted an amendment that combined two bills into a single substitute (sponsor Representative Bromley) and then amended language (House Amendment 2 presented and adopted). House Committee Substitute for House Bill 247 was moved to a "do pass" motion. The roll call produced 17 ayes and 2 present; the clerk recorded the vote as house committee substitute for House Bill 247 do pass.
- For House Bill 799 (presented as House Bill 7 99 in the transcript), the committee adopted an amendment (ending in 0.05h) that modified odometer/inspection language for dealerships and mileage thresholds; the amendment was rolled into a house committee substitute and the committee voted the substitute "do pass." The roll call recorded 16 ayes and 3 nos.
The chair managed several amendment presentations on the floor and allowed members to question amendment sponsors about intent and technical drafting. Multiple short amendments were adopted by voice vote before roll calls.
Ending: The committee completed the executive session votes and returned to public hearing items on the agenda. The transcript records the roll‑call tallies and the adoption of substitutes but does not include full text of the final substitutes in the published hearing transcript.
