Senator Ziderfeld moved to place bill H138 on the Senate Health and Welfare Committee agenda for consideration on Monday, March 3.
Ziderfeld said the bill had passed the House and argued it should be heard by the committee, adding, "This bill should be heard by the committee. It is too important to be left in a drawer." Ziderfeld also asked for a roll call vote on the motion.
The motion was seconded by Senator Lenny. Senator Shippey questioned whether the committee had authority to set the agenda, asking, "Is this I guess does the Committee have authority to do this? I wasn't sure about that." Chair Ben Ordon responded that, without consulting parliamentary procedure in the moment, he believed the motion was in order but left the decision to the committee. Senator Wintrow asked that the committee go at ease so she could consult the rules, saying, "Could we just go at ease for a moment just so I could consult the rules as far as what the proper motion is and in what order? I just want to make sure I got that clear." The transcript does not record a roll call or other vote on the motion.
The meeting was later adjourned for the day; the chair said a new agenda would be issued "forthwith" for the following week.
