- Multiple additional bills were adopted or moved to calendar/rules or to finance/ways and means with voice votes or recorded clerk tallies; examples include bills expanding municipal clerk training fees, modifying RICO offenses, child-protection and juvenile-placement reforms, and changes to court and bond procedures. Several of those items were moved by voice vote and recorded by the clerk at the meeting; where the clerk provided a numerical tally, it is noted above.
Notes and next steps: Many bills were forwarded to calendar and rules or to finance/ways and means; several items were amended in committee and will appear in the committee’s next calendar. For measures that the committee rolled to a later calendar or to another committee, the transcripts record follow-up directions (e.g., additional legal work or stakeholder meetings).
If you need the exact sponsor, amendment codes, or the clerk’s recorded tallies for a particular bill listed above, the committee clerk’s minutes and the official recording are the primary sources for precise vote counts and procedural histories.
