Subcommittee approves consent calendar of 10 bills; all move forward
Summary
The subcommittee placed 10 bills on the consent calendar and approved them by voice/roll call; the items were recorded as passed and sent on as noted by the chair.
The California State Senate subcommittee on Military and Veterans Affairs placed 10 bills on its consent calendar and approved the consent package during the hearing. The chair recited the consent bills and the committee adopted the committee rules without objection before taking the votes.
The consent calendar recitation listed the following bills: Senate Bill 56, Senate Bill 67, Senate Bill 54, Senate Bill 55, Senate Bill 296, Senate Bill 519, Senate Bill 694, Senate Bill 855, Senate Bill 621 and Senate Bill 798. The committee moved the consent calendar with a motion by Senator Menjivar. The roll call recorded "aye" votes as announced (Archuleta, McNerney, Menjivar, Umberg and others present) and the chair announced the package passed and would be forwarded as appropriate.
Why it matters: Consent calendars group noncontroversial or unopposed measures for expedited action so the committee can focus discussion time on bills with public testimony. The committee’s recorded vote sent the consent calendar items out of the subcommittee for further processing.
What’s next: Each consent bill will follow its normal referral path and any fiscal or policy analyses required by standing rules.
