Committee approves printing two resolutions and re‑refers S.B. 1120 to Health and Welfare
Summary
The Senate Judiciary and Rules Committee voted to send RS32371C1 and RS32481 to print and referred S.B. 1120 to the Health and Welfare Committee for re-referral at Senator Van Orden's request.
The Senate Judiciary and Rules Committee on March 4 approved motions to print two requested resolutions and referred S.B. 1120 to the Health and Welfare Committee for re-referral.
Committee members first considered RS32371C1, a resolution from Senator Van Orden. Senator Wintrow moved to send RS32371C1 to print; Senator Ricks seconded. Committee members voted by voice; the chair announced the motion carried and that the resolution would be sent to print and be "in the hands of Senator Van Orden."
Later the committee heard an introductory statement from Senator Ben Toews about RS32481, a request to expand the state Tort Claims Act to include claims for alleged violations of freedom of speech and freedom of religion. After questions, Senator Foreman moved to send RS32481 to print; Senator Lenny seconded. The committee voted by voice and the motion carried.
Finally, members took up Senate Bill 1120, a bill from Senator Wintrow regarding changes to the "imminent danger" standard. Senators discussed a requested procedural move: Senator Van Orden asked that the bill be re-referred to Health and Welfare. Senator Ricks moved to refer S.B. 1120 back to the secretary for re-referral to Health and Welfare; Senator Wintrow seconded. The committee voted by voice and the motion carried.
All three actions were procedural: two motions to print resolutions and one motion to re-refer a bill to another committee. Each motion passed on voice votes during the same meeting.
