Votes at a glance: House Judiciary recommends HB 32 (voice) and HB 41 (15–5 roll call)
Summary
During the same session the House Judiciary Committee recommended do pass on HB 32 by voice vote and HB 41 by roll call (15 yes, 5 no). HB 32 concerns recording exceptions for children; HB 41 would add gabapentin to Schedule V.
The House Judiciary Committee took executive action on two bills after the HB 121 hearing.
House Bill 32: Committee recommended 'do pass' by voice vote. The bill, introduced by Representative Amy Regier at the request of the Law and Justice Interim Committee, would revise circumstances in which a government entity may record a child without parental consent.
House Bill 41: Committee recommended 'do pass' on a roll‑call vote of 15 to 5. HB 41, presented at the request of the Department of Justice, would revise the list of specific dangerous drugs included in Schedule V to add gabapentin. Committee debate included concerns from medical‑use witnesses about therapeutic patients and DUI enforcement; proponents said the scheduling change aids law enforcement in detecting polysubstance impairment.
