Enrolled acts signed and consent-list bills pass the House
Summary
The House signed two enrolled acts and passed a multi-bill consent list. Enrolled Act 34 (orig. House Bill 242) and Enrolled Act 40 (orig. Senate File 39) were signed; the House passed a consent list of 10 Senate files by recorded vote totals reported on the floor.
During the session the House completed enrollment/signing of two acts and passed a multi-bill consent list.
Enrolled acts signed: The Speaker announced the signing of Enrolled Act No. 34 (original House Bill 242), an act relating to motor vehicles and trailer sales-authorizations, and Enrolled Act No. 40 (original Senate File 39), an act providing for automatic transfer of an automobile title upon death and related rulemaking provisions. The Speaker indicated he had signed both enrolled acts on the floor.
Consent-list passage: The House passed a consent list of 10 Senate files on a roll call. The list included: Senate File 5 (school district vehicle flashing lights), Senate File 26 (protection of military equipment), Senate File 46 (water and sewer district bid requirements), Senate File 56 (false information to registered agents), Senate File 106 (motor vehicle dealer/manufacturer warranty rates), Senate File 113 (Greater Opportunity Act), Senate File 121 (rodeo license plates), Senate File 138 (energy-impact study), Senate File 146 (consumer rental-purchase agreement amendments), and Senate File 154 (industrial wind and solar projects hearing deadline). The clerk announced that the consent-list passage (for the grouped set) received an affirmative vote of the majority; the general roll-call announcements on the floor recorded various tallies for individual bills (for example, final tallies reported 59 aye, 3 excused on several items; one bill recorded 38 aye, 21 no, 3 excused; another recorded 36 aye, 23 no, 3 excused). For the full consent list the House reported receiving the affirmative vote of a majority of members present.
Why it matters: Enrolled-act signatures finalize the enacted measures for transmittal to the governor as applicable. Passage of a consent list advances a group of comparatively noncontroversial or agreed bills more efficiently without separate third-reading debate for each.
Ending: Enrolled Act 34 and Enrolled Act 40 were signed on the floor; the listed Senate files passed the House via the consent process as recorded.
