House Judiciary: committee votes and actions on a slate of judiciary bills
Summary
The House Judiciary Committee took executive action on a large group of bills after hearings, tabling HB 948 and concurring or passing a string of Senate bills and House measures. Notably, HB 925 and HB 927 were reported do pass (12–8 both).
After lengthy hearings, the House Judiciary Committee moved into executive action and resolved a series of motions and votes across multiple bills.
Key committee actions and outcomes:
- House Bill 925 (Social Media Youth Protection Act): Motion to pass carried 12–8; committee reported the bill out of committee (see separate coverage). (Motion and roll-call recorded SEG 3527–3789.)
- House Bill 927 (mandatory reporting for individuals not lawfully present): Motion to pass carried 12–8; committee reported the bill out of committee (see separate coverage). (Motion and roll-call recorded SEG 3791–3981.)
- House Bill 948 (insurance law clarifying commissioner is not a criminal justice agency): Committee moved to table HB 948; motion to table carried. (SEG 2447–2474.)
- The committee considered and concurred in or amended multiple Senate bills on judicial process, attorney fees, judicial evaluation, child welfare, search-and-seizure, medical‑liability changes, and hemp product regulation. Notable concurrence actions with amendments and recorded votes include SB 13, SB 39, SB 45 (as amended), SB 50, SB 151, SB 218 (amended), SB 282 (amended), SB 286, SB 329 (as amended), SB 342, SB 348, and SB 375. Several bills were amended before concurrence; the committee assigned House carriers where needed. (Details and roll calls recorded throughout SEG 3990–5318.)
- The committee recorded roll‑call results for many of these items; common patterns in the recorded roll calls were a consistent 12–8 split on several measures, reflecting a roughly similar membership split during this session.
What happens next: Bills that were concurred in or passed out of committee will proceed to the House calendar for floor consideration; tabled items may be revived later. Several bills include amendments adopted in committee; sponsors, carriers and staff will work with floor managers to finalize language.
