Calendar and Rules advances dozens of bills to House calendars; several items sent back to finance or taken off notice
Summary
The Calendar and Rules Committee moved many bills to Monday or Thursday calendars, sent a few bills back to finance, took at least one bill off notice and postponed one for a week. The meeting produced voice votes and procedural placements for more than 60 items.
The Calendar and Rules Committee advanced dozens of bills to upcoming House calendars during its meeting, assigning measures to Monday and Thursday regular or consent calendars, referring a few bills back to finance, removing one bill from notice and postponing another for one week.
The committee chair called the roll and presided over routine motions to place bills on calendars. Most items were disposed of by voice vote after a motion and second; the transcript records the calendar destination for each measure but often does not show recorded roll‑call tallies or the names of movers and seconders.
Notable procedural actions included:
- Several bills were placed on Monday’s regular calendar, including House Bills 0859, 1253, 0860, 0700, 0824 (after recorded opposition), 1112, 1074, 1038, 0324, 0801, 0805, 1000, 0498 and others. - Numerous bills were placed on Monday’s consent calendar, including House Bills 1142, 1138, 0975, 0621, 130917, 1412, 1414, 0141, 0623, 0355, 0363 (designates November as diabetes awareness month), 1020, 1045, 0373 and others. - Certain bills were placed on Thursday calendars: House Bills 1227, 0654, 0825, 0421, 0745, 0368, 0737, 0654 and others were assigned to Thursday regular or consent calendars as recorded. - House Bill 0133 (agenda item 49) and one other item were sent back to the finance committee as noted in the meeting. - House Bill 0535 was taken off notice at request of sponsor. - House Bill 0169 was rolled for one week at the sponsor’s request.
The committee adjourned after completing the calendar. The transcript records many procedural placements but does not include bill texts, committee amendments, or full vote tallies in the excerpt provided. Members who spoke during the session included Chair Lady Moody and several representatives and committee officers who moved and seconded motions; individual sponsorship and substantive explanations were rare in this excerpt except where noted (for example, Representative Reeves briefly described House Bill 0363 as designating November as diabetes awareness month).
