Committee approves technical constitutional corrections bill
Summary
Senate Bill 1-69, a technical corrections bill fixing punctuation and conjunction errors in the state constitution text, passed the committee by voice vote with no public testimony.
Senate Bill 1-69 passed the State Agencies & Governmental Affairs Committee after a brief explanation from its sponsor.
Senator Tucker described the measure as “another technical corrections bill” sent to this committee because it “does amend the constitution.” He said the bill corrects punctuation and conjunction errors — for example, misplaced conjunctions — and that “that's all this bill does.”
Committee members asked no substantive questions and no one signed to speak for or against the bill. Senator Tucker said, “I'm closed. Then, make a motion to pass.” A motion was made and seconded by Senator Sullivan; the chair announced the bill passes.
The hearing record shows a voice vote approving the bill; no roll-call or amendment activity was recorded in the transcript.
