Votes at a glance: dozens of bills read and several passed on consent or quick floor votes
Summary
The House read hundreds of bills for first reading and quickly passed several bills on consent or with brief floor discussion, including HB101 (67‑0), HB109 (68‑0), HB116 (56‑11), HB184 (69‑0), HB47 (72‑0), HB179 (71‑0) and others; many first‑reading bills were referred to rules.
The House processed a long list of bills for first reading and committee assignment, and it approved several measures on consent or after short debate.
Notable quick floor outcomes recorded on the day included:
- HB101 (Home Health Care/Companionship Provider Extension) — passed 67 yes, 0 no (consent calendar). - HB109 (Statement of misconduct / escape penalties) — passed 68 yes, 0 no. - HB116 (Prohibition of riding on trailer) — passed 56 yes, 11 no. - HB184 (Murder of police officers / mens rea amendment) — passed 69 yes, 0 no. - HB47 (Discretion and presentation of accusation/prosecution) — passed 72 yes, 0 no. - HB179 (Perjury reform) — passed 71 yes, 0 no. - HB164 (Homicide jurisdiction amendments) — passed with recorded yes votes (tally reported on the floor).
The reading clerk also announced that dozens of additional bills (HB344 through HB500 and many others) were read for first reading and referred to the Rules Committee or assigned to standing committees for consideration. Several committee reports (Transportation, Judiciary, Business & Economic Development, Energy & Natural Resources & Agriculture, etc.) were adopted on the floor and those bills were scheduled for second or third reading or placed on the consent calendar for later consideration.
Where the floor reading listed a committee recommendation but the clerk did not read a final tally on the floor, this summary notes the referral status as "referred to committee" or "first reading" rather than implying passage.
