Summary

During executive action the committee passed Senate Joint Resolution 7 by voice vote (unanimous) and considered an amendment to SB138; the amendment was withdrawn and the committee voted to postpone SB138 for the day.

The Senate Education and Cultural Resources Committee took executive action after two hearings. A motion to pass Senate Joint Resolution 7 was made and the committee approved it by voice vote; the chair announced SJ7 "is passed unanimously," and Senator Weber’s vote was recorded "aye by proxy."

The committee then moved to Senate Bill 138. An amendment (SB0138.001.002) clarifying qualifying districts and referencing special-education obligations was offered and discussed. After debate and procedural questions, the sponsor of the amendment withdrew it and Senator Beard successfully moved to postpone action on SB138 for the day. The committee approved postponement by voice.

No further business was conducted and the committee adjourned.
