Commerce omnibus policy bill cleared from committee after auto‑insurance provisions deleted
Summary
The Commerce Omnibus Policy Bill (Senate File 2,457) was amended in committee to delete auto‑insurance provisions and re‑referred to Judiciary and Public Safety; the committee adopted the A3 amendment that removes auto insurance language and then recommended the bill to Judiciary.
Senate File 2,457, the Commerce Omnibus Policy Bill, was the first item before the Senate Commerce and Consumer Protection Committee on April 1. Committee leadership moved an A3 amendment that deletes the sections of the bill dealing with auto‑insurance provisions and adopted the amendment by voice vote.
Why it matters: The A3 amendment removes auto‑insurance language from the omnibus package for separate consideration and allows the remaining Commerce provisions to move forward in the legislative process. Committee members indicated prior discussion had occurred at a previous hearing and said they would not take testimony on the bill at this stop.
What the committee did: After brief member discussion and the adoption of the A3 amendment, the committee voted to recommend Senate File 2,457 as amended to the Senate Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety.
Outcome: A3 adopted; bill re‑referred to Judiciary and Public Safety.
