The committee spent the early portion of the meeting moving a series of bills to the consent calendar and then approved a consent packet for referral. The clerk read the consent calendar contents before calling the roll. Items included in the approved consent calendar (as read into the record) were:
- HB 52 71: an act prohibiting gaming‑related advertising, marketing and promotional activities at public institutions of higher education (JF to the floor). - HB 53 61: an act concerning the source of the fruit used by fine winery permittees to manufacture wine (JF to the floor). - HB 54 25: an act concerning heritage railways and alcoholic liquor (JF to the floor). - HB 55 71: an act establishing a maximum restocking fee for returned consumer goods (JFS to the floor). - HB 68 57, LCO 6239: an act concerning the attorney general's recommendations regarding social media and minors (JFS to the floor). - HB 70 20: an act concerning certified public accountants (JF to the floor). - SB 6 11: an act establishing a maximum charge for certain occupational licenses, certifications, permits, and registrations (JF to the floor). - SB 12 38: an act concerning the Legislative Commissioner's recommendations for minor and technical revisions to statutes concerning consumer protection (JF to the floor). - SB 12 94: an act concerning the manner in which persons engaged in making home improvements make certain disclosures (JF to the floor).
After the clerk read the full package, the clerk called the roll and the consent calendar was approved and added to the floor calendar as recorded in the transcript. Individual legislators asked procedural questions during the roll call, but no motion to remove an item from consent was sustained. The committee recessed to reconvene the meeting later in the day for remaining votes on the agenda.
