Ways and Means work session: committee advances multiple bills to the Assembly floor
Summary
The Assembly Ways and Means Committee held a work session and moved a series of bills to the floor (mostly as amended), covering gaming, cannabis, elections, firearms, economic development, education, insurance and other areas; motions were adopted by voice vote and recorded as "motion carries" in the transcript.
The Assembly Committee on Ways and Means conducted a work session and moved a package of bills to the Assembly floor, typically by a motion to "do pass as amended" or "amend and do pass as amended."

Across the work session, fiscal notes originally attached to several bills were reported removed following agency agreement or sponsor amendments (as stated in committee staff summaries). Committee discussion was generally procedural; several members said they would "reserve their rights" to speak on the bills on the Assembly floor despite voting to move them out of the fiscal committee. The transcript records "aye" by voice vote, the motion carrying, and floor assignments but not roll-call vote tallies.
Because the work session covered many bills with primarily fiscal-technical conversations and standard motions to advance to the floor, the committee's actions were recorded as approvals (motions carried) rather than detailed roll-call decisions in the provided transcript.
