Committee took executive-session procedural steps and approved an 'ought to pass as amended' motion on an underlying bill
Summary
During the hearing the Judiciary Committee moved into executive session, considered an amendment (13 82 s) and recorded an "ought to pass as amended" recommendation on an "underlying bill 7 78"; the transcript records affirmative voice votes and a count of four in favor for the amendment.
The committee temporarily moved into executive session during the hearing. A motion to go into executive session was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Following executive session the chair announced: "I motion ought to pass on the underlying bill 7 78." A member moved and seconded, and the chair offered an amendment identified in the transcript as "13 82 s." Committee members discussed the amendment briefly, and the chair called a voice vote on the amendment: "All in favor of the amendment. Aye. Aye. So 4 for ought to pass," the record shows.
The chair then moved that the bill "ought to pass as amended"; that motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The record includes the chair calling for the consent motion and members answering, "Aye."
The transcript does not connect bill number "7 78" or amendment "13 82 s" to an explicit bill title in the public hearing excerpt. Names of individual yes/no voters were not recorded in the excerpt; the committee used voice votes.
These procedural actions were recorded in the committee's hearing transcript as shown in the excerpt.
