House Judiciary committee moves two bills to the floor; technical corrections pass with due pass recommendation
Summary
In work sessions on Jan. 27 the committee moved House Bill 2464 to the House floor with a "do pass" recommendation and referred House Bill 2747 to higher education and ways-and-means committees after moving it to the floor without recommendation.
During Jan. 27 work sessions the House Judiciary Committee took final committee actions on two bills and referred another for further review.
House Bill 2464, described by Legislative Policy and Research Office staff as a package of non‑substantive statutory corrections and style fixes, was moved to the House floor with a "do pass" recommendation. Vice Chair Wallen moved the bill; the committee recorded affirmative roll-call responses from Representative Anderson, Representative Chachi, Representative Lewis, Representative Mannix, Representative Jones, Vice Chair Wallen and Chair Cropp. The clerk recorded the motion passed.
House Bill 2747, a measure that would require the Department of Corrections to provide incarcerated adults access to specific online educational programs, was moved to the floor without recommendation. The committee directed that HB 2747 be referred to the Committee on Higher Education and Workforce Development and then to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means by prior reference. The clerk recorded "aye" or "yes" votes from Representative Anderson, Representative Chi Chi, Representative Lewis, Representative Mannix, Representative Tran, Vice Chair Chosin, Vice Chair Wallen and Chair Cropp and indicated the motion passed.
Both actions were procedural committee motions recorded during the work session; no substantive debate is recorded for either bill in the transcript beyond the brief descriptions and the roll-call confirmations.
