Votes at a glance: Judiciary Committee refers a slate of bills to the floor
Summary
On Tuesday the Judiciary Committee took roll-call votes to refer multiple bills to the floor, including measures on education, artificial intelligence, health insurance, prescription drugs, Title IX immunity, wheelchair repairs, Department of Social Services revisions, election changes and several others.
The Judiciary Committee conducted roll-call votes and referred a number of bills to the floor. Key actions recorded on the committee’s docket included referrals (Joint Favorable to the floor) for: Senate Bill 1 (education and special education funding), Senate Bill 2 (artificial intelligence), Senate Bill 10 (health insurance and patient protection), Senate Bill 11 (prescription drug access and affordability), Senate Bill 977 (Title IX campus-reporting immunity), substitute for Senate Bill 1251 (wheelchair repairs), Senate Bill 1359 (revisions concerning Department of Social Services), Senate Bill 1401 (disaster savings accounts and related tax provisions), Senate Bill 1484 (artificial intelligence protections for employees), Senate Bill 1514 (curbside voting accessibility), and Senate Bill 1516 (Secretary of the State recommendations related to voting and elections).
Several items were the subject of extended debate on the committee floor — most notably SB1, SB2, SB977, the substitute for SB1251, and SB1359 — and those discussions are covered in separate reports. For other bills on the agenda, the committee recorded brief statements and moved the measures to the floor without extended debate.
Procedure and timing: The committee kept the roll-call votes open for a period and allowed members to register votes remotely; the chair said votes would remain open until the designated cutoff time (recorded in the meeting as 02:30).
