House moves to concur with Senate on two amended bills; Harper says payday-lending language conformed
Summary
The House placed First Substitute House Bill 286 (waste tax and fee amendments) and House Bill 133 (expedited child welfare procedures) on the concurrence calendar and moved to concur with Senate amendments. Representative Harper said HB286 was conformed to Senate Bill 130 and will address regulation of electronic title-loan vendors.
The presiding officer announced transmitted Senate amendments and placed two bills on the concurrence calendar, saying, "First substitute House Bill 286 and House Bill 133 will be placed on the concurrence. Motion is that we concur with the Senate amendments." A member earlier read the Senate message into the record: "the Senate passed as amended first substitute House Bill 286, waste tax and fee amendments by Representative D Ewer" and "House Bill 133 expedited child welfare procedures by Representative Steve Binyon," signed "Respectfully, Annette B. Moore, Secretary of the Senate."
Representative Harper addressed the floor at the presiding officer's request, describing how one bill was adjusted to match related Senate language. Harper said the House had "presented earlier ... the Senate Bill 130 on the payday lending" and explained the work to align provisions, saying they had "conformed the 2 and also brought in ... the regulation of electronic, vendors who do the title loans" so that the bills were in conformance. The transcript contains minor garbling in parts of Harper's explanation; the clear points are that the House adjusted language to align with Senate Bill 130 and that the changes touch on regulation of electronic vendors involved in title loans.
The presiding officer moved the concurrence motion on the two bills. The House took a voice vote on the motion; the presiding officer called for "Those in favor of the motion, say aye." The motion passed by voice vote. The transcript did not record individual vote tallies or the name of a formal mover or seconder for the concurrence motion.
The Senate message read into the record included the signature line naming Annette B. Moore as Secretary of the Senate. No further committee referrals or amendments were recorded on the floor in the available transcript. The House then paused its business for a short recess while members addressed an unrelated technical issue affecting online bill access.
