Senate Business and Labor advances a batch of bills in executive action
Summary
Following hearings, the committee moved a package of House bills (including HB335, HB426, HB210, HB434, HB182, HB114, HB109, HB157 and others) to the Senate floor by voice votes and roll calls; several carriers were assigned and a few items were tabled for further consideration.
After a sequence of hearings the Senate Business and Labor Committee entered executive action and advanced a range of bills to the Senate floor. Several items were handled as brief concurrence motions with voice votes or proxy notations, reflecting limited or unanimous opposition.
Notable procedural outcomes include:
- House Bill 335 (professional licensing board appointments) — moved by voice vote; carrier assigned and bill advanced. - House Bill 426 (real‑estate appraiser revocations) and HB210 (unemployment insurance collection) — advanced by voice votes; carriers assigned. - House Bill 182 (senior citizen center grant program) — required a roll‑call vote, recorded at 7 ayes, 4 nays; advanced. - House Bill 141 on gambling raffles and HB123 on self‑service beer/wine payments drew divided opinions; HB141 was tabled after a roll‑call majority opposed and HB123 was tabled for further consideration.
Committee members repeatedly noted the need to assign carriers to bills before the floor and to coordinate follow‑up rulemaking where consolidation or new administrative authority was approved. Several bills were reported out with proxies recorded where members were excused.
