Subcommittee procedural moves and quick-roll votes: strikes, by-for-days and unanimous reports
Summary
Several bills were disposed of with little debate: HB 1985 was stricken, HB 1889 and HB 1913 were taken "by for the day," multiple bills were reported unanimously or nearly so (including HB 1770, HB 1781, HB 1871 (transfer-on-death), and others).
The Veil Law Subcommittee processed multiple short items and procedural motions during the meeting.
Key procedural outcomes recorded in the transcript:
- House Bill 1985: Delegate Lovejoy asked that the bill be stricken; the motion to strike was moved, seconded and recorded; the clerk closed the roll and the bill was removed from the docket (action: stricken).
- House Bill 1889: The patron asked to take HB 1889 "by for the day"; the motion was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote (action: taken by for the day).
- House Bill 1913: The committee took HB 1913 "by for the day" on a similar motion and voice vote (action: taken by for the day).
- House Bill 1644 incorporated into House Bill 1912: Delegate Hope asked to incorporate HB 1644 into HB 1912; the motion to incorporate was moved and seconded and adopted by voice vote (action: incorporation into HB 1912).
- House Bill 1770: A bill to allow electronic signatures on trust instruments was reported by the subcommittee; the recorded tally shown in the transcript was 8–0 in favor (action: reported 8–0).
- House Bill 1781: Clarifying enforcement of foreign protective orders was reported to the next stage; recorded vote 8–0 in favor (action: reported 8–0).
- Transfer on death deed clarification (House Bill 1871 as described by the patron): Delegate Simon’s bill clarifying revocation by sale of property was advanced with an emergency-clause amendment; the bill was reported 8–0.
The transcript records clerks opening and closing the roll for several of these motions; not all final tallies are printed in the transcript, and where the transcript does not list a final recorded tally the article marks the outcome as recorded in the hearing notes.
