Rules committee reports environmental, energy bills and an appropriation amendment to the floor
Summary
At a Rules committee meeting, members reported Senate Print 17-33 (Environmental Conservation Law), advanced the Just Energy Transition Act and approved an amendment to make appropriations; recorded tallies and mover/second information were noted in the transcript.
The Rules committee reported several measures to the floor, including Senate Print 17-33, described in the transcript as the “Environmental Conservation Law,” advanced the Just Energy Transition Act and approved a separate amendment making appropriations.
The committee moved Senate Print 17-33 by Senator Harper. Senator Fernandez moved enactment and Senator Dabo seconded; the transcript records a recorded tally of 51 yes and 11 no and the phrase “bills reported.” The clerk or presiding official is recorded only as “Parker” in the transcript.
The Just Energy Transition Act was moved for enactment in the transcript by an individual identified as “Mayor” and seconded by Senator Paul McSiegel. The transcript records a tally shown as 5 yes and 30 no and notes “bills reported” with the name Krueger associated with reporting the tally. The record is sparse on whether that tally reflects a final committee report or a separate procedural count; the transcript does not give further detail.
Separately, an amendment described as “making appropriations” was moved by Senator Luz and seconded by Senator Myriel; the transcript states the amendment was reported but does not specify a numeric tally in the excerpt provided.
The meeting concluded with a statement that “all bills out to the floor to be moved in a moment.” The transcript excerpt does not include debate, line-by-line text of the bills, dollar amounts, effective dates or roll-call lists of individual yes/no votes beyond the tallies noted above.

- Senate Print 17-33 (Environmental Conservation Law): motion to enact moved by Senator Fernandez, seconded by Senator Dabo; tally reported 51 yes, 11 no; committee reported the bill to the floor.
- Just Energy Transition Act: motion to enact moved by the Mayor (name not specified), seconded by Senator Paul McSiegel; tally recorded in the excerpt as 5 yes, 30 no; transcript also states the bill was reported (role of that tally is not further clarified in the excerpt).
- Amendment to add appropriations: motion moved by Senator Luz, seconded by Senator Myriel; transcript reports the amendment was reported without a numeric tally in the provided excerpt.
Because the transcript excerpt is brief and contains some ambiguous phrasing, this article reports only what the record shows: motions, seconders and the tallies or reporting language as recorded. The excerpt does not provide bill texts, appropriation amounts, committee votes by member name, or final floor actions.
