Commerce committee adopts House Committee substitutes and votes on several housekeeping items
Summary
At the start of the session the committee adopted House Committee substitutes that combine related bills and then voted to recommend do-pass on the substitutes. Roll calls were recorded for the substitute adoptions and do-pass motions.
The House Committee on Commerce established a quorum and moved into executive session, where members adopted several House Committee substitutes (HCS) that combined related bills and then voted to recommend do-pass on those substitutes.
What the committee did: The committee adopted a House Committee substitute that joins HB 94 and HB 508, and the substitute was adopted by voice vote. The chair then moved that the House Committee substitute for House bills (HB) 594 and HB 508 be voted do pass after adoption; a roll-call vote was taken. Later the committee offered and adopted a substitute that would join HB 595 and HB 343, and that substitute also was adopted and then recommended do pass via roll-call.
Roll-call details: Committee roll calls recorded members' yea and nay votes during the do-pass motions. Chair and vice-chair votes were recorded, and several members recorded "no" votes on specific motions. The committee proceeded to its next business after completing the substitute adoptions and roll calls.
Ending: The actions at the start of the meeting were procedural but important: committee substitutes were adopted to consolidate related bills for committee consideration, and the committee recorded roll-call recommendations to advance those combined measures for further consideration.
