Committee roundup: key votes and dispositions from the Commerce Committee session
Loading...
Summary
The committee considered multiple bills and amendments. Several items were placed on interim study, one bill passed committee with amendments, and one identical senate bill was ruled inexpedient to legislate because the House had passed identical language.
The Senate Commerce Committee took the following formal actions during its executive session:
- SB88 (prohibiting state government entities from including specified labor-organization terms in certain contracts): Committee adopted an amendment (3052s) and reported the bill out of committee (committee vote recorded in transcript as favorable).
- SB90: Moved to be ruled inexpedient to legislate (ITL) because House Bill 631 contained identical language and had already been passed and signed into law.
- SB82 (housing opportunity project extension): The committee moved the $20 million measure to interim study citing budget constraints and recommended handling cost issues during a budget year.
- SB175 (use of covenants by municipalities): Placed on interim study.
- Several items were taken on consent and designated for floor consideration or further action as noted in the committee record.
Several measures that required more work were placed on interim study or slated for floor amendments; one bill (HB649, vehicle inspections) produced a split committee vote and will advance to the floor without a committee recommendation.
