Notes: The committee frequently adopted sponsor or staff amendments before final roll calls. Where committees announced counts in the record, this roundup uses the numbers as stated on the transcript. Several bills with major operational impacts (notably HB 2673/HCR 2013) will require additional rulemaking or vendor coordination and raised funding and implementation concerns from the Secretary of State’s office and county recorders.
Ending: Sponsors said they will continue stakeholder meetings to refine language and address county and voting-rights concerns before floor consideration.
