Conference committee approves two policy provisions by voice vote
Summary
The conference committee approved two policy provisions by voice vote: a firearms ballistics reporting provision and an addition to the statutory definition of child sexual‑abuse material to cover certain AI‑generated content.
The conference committee adopted two discrete policy provisions by voice vote during its meeting.
• Firearms ballistics reporting (Senate language, article 2, r 24): Senator Lats moved to adopt language requiring law‑enforcement agencies to register for the eTrace system and to report recovered or confiscated firearms. The committee approved an amendment that changes the operative phrasing so that, when an expended shell casing is recovered or confiscated, the agency must “as soon as practicable, arrange to have the ballistics information submitted to the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network.” The motion carried on a voice vote.
• AI and child sexual‑abuse material (Senate language, article 4): Senator Seaburger moved to adopt language (article 4, r 22, sections 20–21) that would add AI‑generated content to the statutory definition of child sexual‑abuse material; the committee adopted an amendment inserting the words “and is obscene” after “conduct” on page 79, line 24. The motion carried on a voice vote.
Both motions were recorded in the transcript as adopted by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies were taken or recorded in the hearing transcript.
