Committee actions: roll-call outcomes and next steps from the Senate committee session
Summary
During the session the committee reported several bills: HB 407 received a fair report; Senate Bill 306 received a favorable report; the propane-cylinder setback measure (SB 320) was carried over after a public hearing; a dry-cleaning trust-fund bill received a favorable report; SB 321 was carried over.
At the committee session recorded in the transcript, lawmakers moved several items and recorded outcomes.
- HB 407 (Rep. Reed Ingram, sponsor): Committee entered a motion (moved by Senator Hovey, seconded by Senator Chambliss) and, after a long roll call, the chair announced: "your bill receives a fair report." The transcript does not include a detailed roll-call tally.
- Senate Bill 306 (Sen. Chris Kitchens, sponsor): Following sponsor presentation and public comment, the committee recorded that the bill received a favorable report and will be advanced for further consideration. The chair announced the outcome after a roll-call reading of senator attendance.
- Senate Bill 320 (Sen. Linda Weaver, sponsor): The committee held an extended public hearing with industry witnesses opposing the draft as written; the chair announced the bill will be carried over for further negotiation and no vote was taken at the session.
- SB 321: Committee recorded an action to carry SB 321 over (no committee vote taken during the session), per a senator’s instruction to "let's just carry it over."
- Dry-cleaning trust-fund bill (presented in the hearing): A motion by Senator Hatcher, seconded by Senator Carnley, was recorded; the chair announced the bill received a favorable report.
Where the transcript did not record a detailed roll-call tally, the chair used the clerk’s reading of attendance and announced outcomes. The committee left several bills pending further drafting or negotiation and advanced other measures via favorable report.
