Committee advances SB63 and SB148; SB63 passes 8-4 on roll call
Summary
The Senate Fish and Game Committee moved Senate Bill 63 (restrictions on motion-tracking devices while hunting) forward on a roll-call 'do pass' vote, 8-4; the panel also advanced Senate Bill 148 unanimously by voice vote. Both bills will proceed to the floor.
After hearings the committee conducted executive actions. Senator Flowers moved a 'do pass' on Senate Bill 63, a bill revising law related to the use of motion-tracking devices while hunting. Committee members debated enforcement practicality and the bill's language — including concerns about vague terms such as "motion tracking device" — before taking a roll-call vote. The secretary recorded an 8-4 tally in favor of the 'do pass' motion, moving SB63 forward.
The committee then considered Senate Bill 148, which allows a landowner to designate licensee persons with a disability to receive a landowner-preference license; Senator Flowers moved a 'do pass' and the committee advanced SB148 unanimously in a voice vote, with several members casting proxy votes. Chair Logie announced both bills would move onto the floor.
