House advances multiple bills to Senate; committee reports and consent calendar clear several measures
Summary
The House received multiple communications from the Senate, approved committee reports, and advanced a slate of bills (including education, transportation and public-safety measures) to the Senate or appropriate committees, mostly by voice or unanimous roll-call votes.
The House clerk read communications from the Senate that transmitted several bills and joint resolutions to the House for action. The Rules Committee reported a broad set of House bills and recommended assignments to standing committees; the House adopted the committee report by voice vote.
Several bills were taken on the consent calendar and passed with minimal floor debate: House Bill 119 (alcoholic beverages, fraternal organizations), Substitute House Bill 101 (coordinated services amendments), House Bill 93 (education and youth custody amendments), House Bill 98 (interstate school attendance compact) and others. Committee referrals were announced for bills including HB121 (truth in borrowing), HB149 (recreational-therapy licensing), HB158 (Strategic Planning for Education Task Force), and more.
Several bills were also placed on calendars or set for time-certain consideration; procedural votes to circle or uncircle bills were adopted as requested by sponsors.
