The Corrections and Criminal Law Committee on Tuesday voted to advance House Bill 1413, a measure focused on processing sexual-assault evidence kits, to the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Chair Senator Greg Freeman said he preferred the bill with no additional amendments and noted the committee had received “an inundation” of amendments during prior consideration. Following brief procedural remarks and an absence of extended debate, the committee moved the bill; the roll call recorded an 8–0 vote to recommit the bill to appropriations.
There was no detailed fiscal estimate discussed in committee. The chair said the bill will proceed to appropriations for fiscal review.
