The committee voted to advance HJ 51 (special education), HJ 53 (school safety), HJ 58 (school counselors) and HJ 59 (media literacy) to the House floor and concurred in Senate Bills 138 and 258; roll calls and proxies were recorded for the Senate bills.
At executive action the House Education Committee moved four interim-study resolutions to the House floor.
- HJ 51 (special education): motion carried by voice vote with proxies recorded; committee will transmit the resolution to the House floor. - HJ 53 (school safety): motion carried by voice vote; HJ 53 will go to the floor. - HJ 58 (school counselors): motion carried by voice vote; HJ 58 will go to the floor. - HJ 59 (media literacy): motion carried by voice vote; HJ 59 will go to the floor.
The committee also voted on two Senate bills:

A subsequent roll-call concurrence vote recorded a final tally of 9 in favor and 6 opposed; the bill will proceed to the House floor.
- Senate Bill 258 (an act clarifying the legislature’s authority on school funding inflationary adjustments): Committee members voted to reconsider previous action (reconsideration passed 11 to 4) and then voted to concur; the concurrence roll call recorded 10 in favor and 5 opposed. SB 258 will go to the House floor.
Where proxies were recorded, staff entered the proxy votes into the record. No amendments were recorded during executive action; staff read each bill title before the vote.
