Committee advances multiple bills, adopts amendments; votes at a glance
Summary
The Executive Departments and Administration Committee considered a slate of bills, adopting several amendments and moving measures forward by voice and recorded votes; actions include re-referral, ITL, committee amendments and pass-as-amended votes.
The Executive Departments and Administration Committee acted on a broad slate of bills during its Oct. 26 meeting, adopting amendments, re-referring one bill and recording several voice votes and a handful of 4–1 recorded tallies.
Key actions included adopting amendment 1821s to House Bill 82 (a cleanup bill addressing electricians’ concerns and subcommittee language), re-referring House Bill 233 after the chair reported that the chair of the vaccine association agreed to comply voluntarily, voting ITL (Inexpedient to Legislate) on House Bill 598, and approving hybrid-meeting language to require compliance with RSA 91-A for the committee established under House Bill 634.
Other items moved by the committee included passage of House Bill 780 after sponsor testimony was placed in the record. Most items were decided by voice vote; where recorded tallies appear in the transcript they are explicitly noted.
