House Judiciary Committee unanimously gives favorable report to Senate Bill 333 (cross-file of Delegate Simpson)

The House Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to give a favorable report on Senate Bill 333, described in the meeting as the cross-file of a bill sponsored by Delegate Simpson.

The committee chair called for a motion and a vote on a favorable report; the motion was moved and seconded and, after a roll call in which committee members voted yes, "The motion is adopted," the chair said.

Senator West was identified in the meeting as the sponsor of the senate-filed version and Delegate Simpson as the sponsor of the cross-file. Committee members who recorded yes votes during the roll call included Vice chair; Delegate Valentine; Delegate Tomlinson; Delegate Embry; Delegate Pasteur; Delegate Boucher; Delegate Phillips; Delegate Stinnett; Delegate Congolo; Delegate Taylor; Delegate Simpson; Delegate Moon; (an entry given as) "Hunter's Blazer"; Delegate Conaway; Delegate Kaufman; Delegate Williams; and Delegate Schmidt. The motion’s mover and seconder were not named in the transcript.

There was no substantive discussion recorded on the bill during the committee’s consideration. The chair cautioned members that the House floor schedule would be unusually busy and that the committee may meet on the House floor at times throughout the day. The chair closed the meeting by noting it was sine die and saying, "This has been the House Judiciary Committee, and we will see you later on. Thank you."
