House Judiciary executive action: several bills advance, some tabled after roll call votes
Summary
In executive session the committee considered multiple bills. Key outcomes: HB 287 failed a pass motion then was tabled; HB 292 and HB 295 passed; HB 301–303 passed; HB 304 failed on final roll call after amendment and was tabled; HB 316 (constitutional amendment defining 'person') passed out of committee.
After the hearings the House Judiciary committee reconvened for executive action. Committee minutes and roll calls show the following formal outcomes:
• House Bill 287 — Motion to pass failed on a roll call. The committee later moved to table HB 287. (Motion and failure recorded in the transcript; chair noted the motion failed and the bill was placed on the table.)
• House Bill 292 — Passed by voice vote. Ms. Weiss read the title; Representative Mallette moved do pass and the committee approved.
• House Bill 295 — Moved by Vice Chair Deming and passed (voice vote recorded); the bill revises judicial election and transparency rules.
• House Bills 301, 302 and 303 — The committee recorded roll‑call votes; each passed House Judiciary by recorded tallies (the transcript shows votes and counts for each).
• House Bill 304 — Committee considered Amendment 304.001 (which would have limited certain new tenant notice provisions to landlords owning 10 or more units); the amendment passed in committee but the amended bill failed a final roll call and was later tabled.
• House Bill 316 — A proposed constitutional amendment defining "person" to include all members of mankind at any stage of development was moved and passed in committee; the committee recorded a roll call with the result recorded in the transcript.
The committee recorded multiple roll calls and voice votes; the transcript captures named members' recorded individual votes on several items. No floor action occurred in this session; these were committee recommendations to be forwarded with recorded committee outcomes.
