House committee reports HCR1 and HB 49-59 (H-1) to the floor after roll-call votes

Lansing — The House Families and Veterans Committee concluded its session with roll-call votes on procedural items.

Representative Song moved a substitute to House Concurrent Resolution 1; the clerk took the roll and, per the transcript, the motion did not prevail after the vote on the substitute. The committee then moved to report HCR1 to the floor. On the motion to report, the clerk recorded votes with seven members voting yes and four members recorded as "pass," and announced the motion prevails; the committee reported House Concurrent Resolution 1 to the House floor with recommendation.

Representative Thompson moved to report House Bill 49-59 as an H-1 substitute. The clerk took the roll; the recorded tally again showed seven yeas, zero nays and four passes, and the clerk announced the motion prevails. House Bill 49-59 is reported to the floor as an H-1 substitute with recommendation.

Other housekeeping motions included adoption of the October 21 minutes without objection and a motion to excuse absent members (there were none to excuse). The committee adjourned following those actions.

Vote records from the transcript (as read by the clerk): on the successful motions to report, members recorded voting yes were Chair Schmaltz, Representative Wozniak, Representative Fox, Representative Johnson, Representative Thompson, Representative Pablo and Representative Wolford; Representatives Young, Burns, Reingans and Sung were recorded as "pass." The transcript showed no recorded nays on the prevailing report motions.

Notes: The transcript contains an irregular reading of one substitute vote earlier in the sequence; this article reports results as stated in the hearing transcript and the clerk's announcements that HCR1 and HB 49-59 were reported to the floor with recommendations.
