Votes at a glance: two committee votes recorded during the hearing
Summary
The Labor Committee recorded votes on two bills during the session. The committee voted to report several bills ITL (inexpedient to legislate) as reflected in roll calls noted in the transcript; two recorded committee outcomes are summarized below.
During the Labor Committee session the transcript records formal committee roll‑call outcomes for multiple items. Below are the outcomes explicitly recorded in the hearing transcript provided.
Votes at a glance
- HB 442 — Relative to prohibiting payment of some subminimum wages (tipped wage reform): The motion on the table was “Inexpedient to legislate” (ITL). The committee roll call recorded the motion as passing by a vote of 11–9. (Clerk roll call and outcome recorded in the transcript.)
- HB 378 — Relative to payment of employees’ unused time (amendment/requirements on payout on layoff/sale/closure): The committee recorded a roll call on the ITL motion; the transcript records the result as 11–9 in favor of the motion. (Clerk called roll; result recorded.)
Other notes
- The transcript contains roll‑call language and results for additional items that are less clearly labeled in the excerpt provided; several bills were recessed, continued, or the committee requested additional information and follow up. The committee conducted extended hearings on HB 386 (nursing agency non‑compete clauses), HB 280 (wage payment/payroll cards), HB 487 (advanced notice of schedules), HB 379 (youth night work), and HB 757 (tip pooling/service charges) without final committee votes recorded in the transcript excerpt.
- Where a formal roll call and tally appear in the transcript, those tallies are cited above. The committee frequently used “ITL” (inexpedient to legislate) motions during this session; the transcript records the clerk calling the roll and the committee chair acknowledging the result in several instances.
What this means
Votes recorded as ITL mean the committee will not advance the bill to the full House for passage in its current form. The transcript shows multiple hearings were continued or left open for additional materials and amendments.
