Judiciary conference negotiators reach agreement to package several bills into shell measures
Summary
Lawmakers in a Committee on Judiciary conference exchanged offers and counteroffers before agreeing to package multiple bills into shell measures, including a Senate substitute for House Bill 2,164 and placement of House Bill 2,349 and other measures into negotiated shells.
At a meeting of the Committee on Judiciary, House and Senate negotiators exchanged offers and counteroffers and ultimately agreed to assemble a package that would place several bills into legislative shells rather than pass each as originally drafted.
The agreement centers on House Bill 2,164 and related amendments. “The Senate appreciates the offer but is not able to accept the offer,” the Madam Chair said when the Senate first responded to a House proposal. The Senate then made a counteroffer to proceed with a Senate substitute for House Bill 2,164 plus what the transcript calls “the 1 and a half amendments,” described in the meeting as matters addressing a church and a “severity level 7.”
