Reading clerk announces Senate passage of multiple bills, including amended HB 19
Summary
During the opening of the session the chamber was notified that the Senate had passed SB 46, SB 103, SB 118, SB 138, SB 65 and an amended HB 19; the measures were transmitted for signature or further consideration and no vote tallies were read into the record.
The chamber was informed during its opening procedures that the Senate had approved a package of bills and transmitted them to the House for the speaker's signature or further consideration.
The Reading Clerk announced: "Mr. Speaker, the Senate passed SB 46 reporting the vacant state positions by Senator Ari Mielstein" and then listed other measures that the Senate had approved, including SB 103 (use of high-occupancy vehicle lanes), SB 118 (plumbing code provisions), SB 138 (design board options), and SB 65 (impact fee arbitration), which the announcement said the Senate concurred in as amended. Later, the Reading Clerk said, "The senate passes amended HB 19 penalties for driving under the influence by representative Anne Stevens and is transmitted for further consideration." These items were presented as communications from the Senate; no roll-call vote counts or debate were included in the reading.
Why it matters: The announcements place those measures into the House legislative process. SB 65 was noted as having concurrence in House amendments and being transmitted for the speaker's signature; HB 19 was described as passed by the Senate in amended form and sent on for further consideration. The transcript does not include vote tallies, committee referrals, sponsor statements, or debate on the measures in this reading.
What was said: The announcements were delivered immediately after the invocation and Pledge of Allegiance during the chamber's opening procedures. The Reading Clerk read the bill titles and short descriptions as provided in the Senate communications; for example, SB 46 was read as concerning the reporting of vacant state positions.
Next steps: The measures announced were recorded as transmitted or transmitted for signature; the transcript does not record subsequent action by the House on these items during this session segment.
