Votes at a glance: House concurs with Senate amendments on HB28; Governor signs three enrolled acts; multiple Senate bills passed on consent
Summary
During the session the House voted to concur with Senate amendments to House Bill 28, the Governor signed three enrolled acts originating in the House, and the chamber passed a multi-bill third-reading consent list (several bills recorded with final tallies).
A summary of formal actions in the Wyoming House session excerpt:
- House concurrence on House Bill 28: The House adopted the joint conference committee recommendation to revert House Bill 28 to the House position on the third amendment; the rollcall result was 61 yeas, 1 excused. By that vote members "concurred with senate amendments to house bill 28," and the change was recorded on the floor.
- Governor signed three enrolled acts originating in the House (read by the clerk and announced on the floor): - House Enrolled Act No. 31 (orig. House Bill 5) — related to regulation and registration of commercially guided fishing boats and creating an advisory board; the governor signed the enrolled act and the clerk announced the signature. - House Enrolled Act No. 32 (orig. House Bill 97) — relating to homeland security and identification of conveyances near critical infrastructure; the governor signed the enrolled act and the clerk announced the signature. - House Enrolled Act No. 33 (orig. House Bill 116) — relating to driver's licenses and invalidating licenses issued to unauthorized aliens by other jurisdictions; the governor signed the enrolled act and the clerk announced the signature.
- Third-reading consent list: The House considered a consent list of Senate files on third reading. The clerk read the list and the bills' titles; the House then called the roll for each. Results recorded in the transcript (selected items): - Senate File 7 (protection order amendments): 61 aye, 1 excused. - Senate File 8 (protection orders during appeal/review): 61 aye, 1 excused. - Senate File 39 (automatic transfer of automobile title upon death): 61 aye, 1 excused. - Senate File 79 (district courts change venue): 61 aye, 1 excused. - Senate File 110 (inclusion of crossing guards under governmental claims act): 58 aye, 3 no, 1 excused. - Senate File 119 (expedited licensure for military members): 61 aye, 1 excused. - Senate File 127 (administrative rules legislative review): 56 aye, 5 no, 1 excused. - Senate File 137 (school finance cash reserves): 41 aye, 20 no, 1 excused. - Senate File 179 (sage grouse mitigation amendments): 61 aye, 1 excused. - Senate File 181 (eminent domain, energy collection systems): 57 aye, 4 no, 1 excused.
Why it matters: These actions include concurrence decisions (HB28), enactments signed by the governor (three enrolled acts), and the passage of multiple Senate bills by the House on third reading. Several bills passed unanimously or with broad support; a handful recorded notable opposition on final passage.
What to watch next: For bills ordered on third reading (including Senate File 103 discussed at length elsewhere in the transcript), reporters and stakeholders should monitor third-reading votes and any conference committee or governor action that follows.
