Committee reports House Bill 4664 with H‑1 substitute; motion to reconsider fails
Summary
The House Judiciary Committee voted 7‑1 to report House Bill 4664 with recommendation of an H‑1 substitute. A later motion to reconsider the report failed 7‑2, leaving the recommendation in place.
The House Judiciary Committee reported House Bill 4664 with a recommendation of substitute H‑1 after a roll call vote during the session. Chair Leitner and other committee members recorded votes; the clerk announced the result as "7 yays, 1 nays, 0 pass." The committee then continued with other business.
Later in the session Representative Hope moved to reconsider the earlier vote. The clerk called a roll on the motion to reconsider and the motion failed with a tally of 2 yays and 7 nays, meaning the committee did not reopen the earlier report and the H‑1 recommendation remained the committee action on HB4664.
Clerk roll calls recorded the following members voting on the report: Chair Leitner (yes), Representative Bagole (yes), Wozniak (yes), Harris (yes), DeBoer (yes), Johnson (yes), Schuette (yes); Representative Hope recorded the lone nay on the initial report. On the subsequent motion to reconsider, the clerk reported two yays (Representative Hope and Breen) and seven nays, and the motion did not prevail.
The committee adopted the minutes from the August 20 meeting earlier in the session and excused absent members by unanimous consent. With no further business, Chair Leitner adjourned the committee.
No further details of the substance of HB4664 were discussed on the public record during this transcript excerpt; the committee's roll call and the motion to reconsider are the formal actions captured in the minutes.
