Senate Finance and Claims Advances Multiple Bills; SB95, SB301, SB345, SB471 and Several House Bills Move Forward
Summary
In executive action the committee gave do‑pass or concurrence recommendations on several bills: SB95 (suicide prevention) passed 12–10, SB301 passed as amended, SB345 passed, SB471 passed 12–10, and the committee concurred in House Bills 15, 18, 28, 234 and 572.
After morning hearings the Senate Finance and Claims Committee conducted executive action on a set of Senate and House bills.
Key Senate actions: - SB95 (suicide prevention funding in military affairs) received a roll‑call recommendation from the committee and passed by a 12 yes, 10 no vote. Members debated program management and who would administer grants. - SB301 (revised utility lines and facility laws) was amended (amendment 002) to add public‑notice and advanced‑cost disclosure elements; the amendment was adopted and the bill passed as amended. - SB308 (workers’ compensation change) failed on roll call (8 yes, 14 no) and members then moved to reverse and table the bill. - SB345 (workers’ compensation evidentiary standards) passed on a voice vote with proxies assumed as yes. - SB471 (pedestrian crossings/traffic laws) passed with an amendment that brought the fiscal note to zero; roll call recorded 12 yes, 10 no.
House bills heard earlier in the session were also acted on in executive action: the committee concurred in House Bill 15 (K‑12 inflation adjustments; roll call 18 yes, 4 no), House Bill 18 (deposit non‑levy revenue to sceptor account; concurrence by voice vote), House Bill 28 (charter school timelines; concurrence by voice vote), House Bill 234 (extend lead‑abatement appropriation; concurrence by voice vote) and House Bill 572 (correctional enterprise changes; concurrence by voice vote).
Committee leaders said some bills had amendments to be finalized and that further executive action would continue the next day.
