Senators move several bills to the inactive file ahead of budget negotiations
Summary
Senators requested that several bills be placed on the inactive file for the coming budget discussions; the desk noted the requests. Senator Wiener also signaled plans to work on SB 310 with the judiciary chair for future advancement.
Several senators requested that multiple bills be moved to the Senate’s inactive file as the Legislature shifts focus to upcoming budget negotiations.
Senator Wiener asked that three items be placed on the inactive file: file number 21 (SB 607), file number 20 (SB 747) and file number 19 (SB 310). Wiener said he expected SB 310 would be worked on with the chair of the judiciary committee and later advanced so that low-wage workers would have a remedy when wages are delayed or stolen. The desk noted the request. Senator Cabaldon separately requested that SB 299 (file item 14) be moved to the inactive file; the desk also noted that request.
The transcript records the requests and the desk’s notation but does not record formal roll-call votes on the motions; senators described the moves as part of budget-related scheduling and procedural management of the calendar.
Wiener said of SB 310: “over the coming months, we will be working with the chair of the judiciary committee in order to be able to advance it in January so that low low wage workers have a remedy, when their wages are delayed or stolen and they can't buy groceries or an asthma inhaler for their child.” No further floor action on these items was recorded during this session.
