Commerce Committee postpones two bills to 2026

The Commerce Committee in April 2025 postponed two bills to 2026, moving House Bill 378 to the first calendar of 2026 and House Bill 905 to the second committee meeting of 2026, the committee recorded.

The actions removed both measures from the committee's current calendar without a roll call vote. Committee staff reported a quorum of 17 members present when the committee convened.

House Bill 378, introduced in the transcript as "House Bill 3 78 by Representative McCalmon," was rolled to the first calendar of 2026 after the committee accepted a request to delay further consideration. Representative McCalmon was identified in the transcript as the sponsor associated with that bill; no additional debate or a recorded roll-call vote on the substance of the bill was recorded.

House Bill 905 was also postponed. The transcript records a committee member saying the bill had not reached agreement among interested parties and asking to roll it until the second committee meeting of 2026; the committee adopted that request "without objection." The sponsor of HB 905 identified the need for more time for negotiations but a sponsoring name was not recorded in the transcript.

Beyond those two calendar items, committee business concluded with brief remarks of thanks to staff and members and an adjournment until 2026, subject to the chair's call. No formal enactments, amendments, or final votes on either bill were recorded in the meeting transcript.
