Votes at a glance: third‑reading items, conference appointments and first readings
Summary
The House handled a series of third‑reading items, read several Senate bills for first reading, appointed a conference committee and passed a set of bills with recorded roll calls (including SB 109, HB 153, HB 362, HB 3 18, HB 4 16, HB 4 49 and HB 4 66).
The House handled multiple third‑reading items and procedural matters during the session. Key outcomes recorded in the transcript include:
- Communications/readings from the Senate: substituted and amended Second Substitute Senate Bill 195 (fish health amendments), Senate Bill 205 (alcoholic beverage control amendments), and Senate Bill 231 (veterans amendments) were read for the first time and referred to Rules (Madam Reading Clerk). The Senate refused to recede on amendments to Substitute House Bill 236 (student clubs) and appointed a conference committee; the House appointed its conference committee (Representatives Tilton, Wyatt, Biskupski).
- Senate Bill 109 (Transfers of Structured Settlements): Representative Steve Clark moved to reconsider for a technical date correction (change 04/30/2006 to 02/2007); the amendment was adopted and the bill passed the House (65 yes, 0 no recorded in the transcript). The House will transmit the amendment to the Senate.
- First Substitute House Bill 153 (Securities amendments): Sponsor Representative Byrd reported agreement with the Division of Securities and industry groups; the House adopted the substitute and passed it (transcript records 7 yes, 2 no).
- First Substitute House Bill 416 (Teacher loan program): Passed 45 yes, 27 no; details include $15,000 loan amounts with forgiveness after 5 and 10 years depending on continued teaching in the district.
- First Substitute House Bill 362 (Annexation amendments): Passed 57 yes, 14 no (covered in a separate article).
- House Bill 4 49 (Accident report records access): Passed with 67 yes, 1 no.
- House Bill 4 66 (Incorporation of a town amendments): Passed (tally recorded in the transcript; clerk recorded passage and referral to the Senate).
This list is not exhaustive; several bills were circled for future debate, and numerous items were substituted or had amendments adopted on the floor. Where the transcript records a roll call or final tally, it is reported here verbatim; if a numerical tally was unclear in the transcript, the item is noted as "passed" and should be confirmed in the official House Journal for precise counts.
