Votes at a glance: committee advances RS32466 to print, SB 1139, HB 87
Summary
The committee took several procedural and substantive votes: it approved sending RS32466 to print, advanced House Bill 187 and House Bill 46 with due pass recommendations, and also advanced Senate Bill 1139 and House Bill 87 to the floor.
The committee recorded several formal actions during the hearing session.
- RS32466 (request to print). Sen. Dan Foreman presented an RS on short-term rentals (RS32466) and the committee voted to send it to print. Sen. Laney moved to print and Sen. Keiser seconded. Sen. Wintrow said she would "reluctantly vote no" on the RS because of stakeholder dissension; the motion carried with the RS sent to print and then to the sponsoring committee.
- Senate Bill 1139. Sheriff Chris Goetz described SB 1139 as a statutory change to allow the POST Council discretionary review of some non-violent felony convictions for certification consideration; the bill preserves an absolute bar to certification for the most serious felonies. The committee voted to send SB 1139 to the floor with a due pass recommendation.
- House Bill 87. Sen. Shippey presented a change to guardianship law to allow a person who acted as guardian at the time of death to continue funeral/burial decision authority to avoid delays for morticians; the committee voted to send HB 87 to the floor with a due pass recommendation.
Each of these items was approved by the committee and will next proceed to consideration by the full Senate. The committee recorded votes and some dissent in the discussion on RS32466 and on other items; detailed roll-call tallies were not provided in the transcript for every item.
