Votes at a glance: Senate Education Committee actions recorded at the Jan. 28 hearing

The Senate Education Committee recorded three formal actions during the Jan. 28 hearing: approval of minutes for two prior committee meetings and a committee vote on Senate Bill 1025.

Minutes

- Minutes for 01/27/2025: moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. - Minutes for 01/28/2025: moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

Motion on SB1025

- Motion: "Send Senate Bill 1025 to the Senate floor with no recommendation." Moved by Senator Woodward; seconded by Senator Burton Shaw. - Outcome: Motion carried by roll call. The committee recorded the tally as 5 in favor and 4 opposed.

Context and next steps: approval of minutes are routine committee housekeeping. The committee's action on SB1025 sends the bill to the full Senate for further consideration; the committee record indicates fiscal staff and the Joint Finance‑Appropriations Committee (JFAC) will be involved in any appropriations (a trailer appropriation would be required if the program receives funding). The committee’s vote with no recommendation means the full Senate will consider the bill on the floor with the committee evenly divided.
