Senate Revenue & Tax Committee advances a package of technical bills; several S.B. bills passed by voice vote
Summary
Committee members quickly advanced a package of Senate bills (SB 378, 379, 380, 381, 382, 383, 384, 385, 387, 389), most with brief motions and no public testimony. One bill, SB386, was pulled down for further review after questioning (covered separately).
The Senate Revenue & Tax Committee moved a group of Senate bills through the committee by voice vote after brief consideration and without public testimony.
Senators handled the bills in sequence, with committee members indicating prior review of the reports accompanying the measures and staff summary work. Committee members repeatedly stated there was no financial impact on the items listed, and senators moved the bills for do-pass recommendations with routine seconds. The bills the committee advanced during the meeting include SB 379, SB 380, SB 381, SB 382, SB 384, SB 378, SB 383, SB 387, SB 389 and SB 385.
Representative motions and seconds recorded in committee were: SB 379 (motion by Senator Petty; second by Senator Hester) — passed by voice vote; SB 380 (motion by Senator Crowell; second by Senator Petty) — passed; SB 381 (motion by Senator Hester; second by Senator Petty) — passed; SB 382 (motion by Senator Hester; second by Senator Petty) — passed; SB 384 (motion by Senator Hester; second by Senator Petty) — passed; SB 378 (motion by Senator Hester; second by Senator Dismang) — passed; SB 383 (motion by Senator Hester; second by Senator Petty) — passed; SB 387 (motion by Senator Hester; second by Senator Petty) — passed; SB 389 (motion by Senator Hester; second by Senator Petty) — passed; SB 385 (motion by Senator Hester; second by Senator Petty) — passed.
Committee members said they had examined the associated reports and financial impact statements with staff in advance. No members of the public rose to testify on these bills during the session. Several items were handled quickly because staff and members had reviewed them in prior meetings; a separate bill, SB386, drew extended questioning and was pulled down for additional discussion.
Votes at a glance: each listed bill was given a do-pass recommendation by voice vote with no recorded opposition in committee minutes.
Next steps: The bills will be reported out of committee with do-pass recommendations; SB386 will return at a later date after committee follow-up with DFA.
