Senate Bill 110 amended twice and advanced after 7–4 roll-call vote
Summary
Senate Bill 110 was amended on the floor of the committee, amended a second time after committee discussion and uncertainty about prior action, and passed on a roll-call vote of seven ayes and four noes; the bill was sent to the Senate floor.
The Senate Business and Labor committee advanced Senate Bill 110 after adopting amendments and taking a roll-call vote that recorded seven ayes and four noes.
Committee members first moved to adopt an amendment to Senate Bill 110; sponsors and drafters made additions after questions from senators. A committee member noted a drafting oversight that needed to be corrected, and the committee added language to ensure the bill does what it was intended to do.
There was some confusion in the chamber about whether a prior vote on the bill had already taken place earlier; Speaker 5 said, “Oh, I thought we voted on the other day,” and members clarified that while the amendment had been added earlier they had only voted to pass for the day and not finally passed the bill. After clarifying the record, a motion was made to pass the bill as amended twice.
Because several senators registered no votes, the committee conducted a roll-call vote. The roll call in the transcript recorded the following: Vice chair Trebes — No; Vice chair Curti — Yes; Senator Zolnikov — No; Senator Novak — Yes; Senator Morgeau — Aye by proxy; Senator Hunter — Yes; Senator Logie — Yes; Senator Weber — Yes; Senator Gillespie — Yes; Senator Phelan — No; Chair Noland — No. The clerk recorded seven ayes and four noes; the bill as amended twice was advanced to the Senate floor.
The transcript records proxy votes for some members (for example, a proxy vote recorded for Senator Morgeau). The committee put the bill over to the floor after the roll call.
