House suspends rules to place several Senate bills on third‑reading calendar
Summary
Under suspension of the rules, the House approved a motion to lift a set of Senate bills (including measures on meth decontamination, veterans outreach, justice‑court amendments and mortgage fraud) to the Senate third‑reading calendar for consideration Monday morning because they carry fiscal notes.
Members on the House floor voted to suspend the rules and place a package of Senate bills on the Senate third‑reading calendar for consideration the following Monday, citing fiscal‑note timing. Representative Bigelow introduced the motion and read the list; the chair/reading clerk restated the items. The list included Senate Bill 209 (meth decontamination), Senate Bill 247 (veterans outreach), Senate Bill 88 (uniform model registered agent act), Senate Bill 239 (safety net initiative, first substitute), Senate Bill 105 (Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission), Senate Bill 271 (post‑conviction remedies, second substitute), Senate Bill 134 (mortgage fraud), and Senate Bill 72 (justice court amendments, first substitute).
Representative Bigelow said the bills reflected caucus priorities and that both chambers were working to move priority fiscal bills in time for deadlines; members were advised to consult with leadership and the appropriations chair to coordinate calendar placement. The motion to suspend the rules and move the bills passed by voice vote and the items were placed on the Senate third‑reading calendar.
