The actions matter because the referrals assign primary jurisdiction for committee review and hearings, a prerequisite to further floor debate, amendment or votes.
Senate Bill 233, described in the introduction as revising provisions relating to agriculture and introduced by Senators Dennate and Flores, was referred to the Natural Resources Committee after Senator Donate moved the referral. The Senate took no recorded roll-call; the referral was ordered after the presiding officer asked for objections and none were raised.
Senate Bill 234, described as making revisions relating to Medicaid and introduced in the same introduction sequence, was referred to the Health and Human Services Committee after a motion by Senator De Nata. No objections were recorded and the referral was ordered.
Senate Bill 235, introduced by Senator Hansen and described as revising provisions relating to wildlife, was referred to the Natural Resources Committee after Hansen moved referral; the motion carried by unanimous consent with no recorded roll-call.
Senate Bill 236, introduced by Senators Stone, Ellison, Krasner and Buck and described as revising provisions relating to real property, was referred to the Judiciary Committee after Senator Stone moved referral. The referral was ordered with no objections.
Separately, Senator Scheibel moved to accept credentials for the reporters and media representatives shown on the chamber screen and to allow use of media facilities; the motion carried by voice vote. The journal record also noted that Senator Warren Shaw approved adding Senator Krasner as a primary sponsor on Senate Bill 179; the entry reads as an administrative approval recorded on the floor.
Senator Cannizzaro moved to adjourn the Senate until 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2025; that motion carried by voice vote and the Senate adjourned.
All referrals and floor approvals were completed by unanimous consent or voice vote; the session record shows no floor debate, amendments, or recorded roll-call votes related to these items during the period covered by the transcript. Each bill will proceed to the committee assigned for hearings, which is the next step before any committee report or further floor action.
