House places first substitute HB308 (workers' compensation, motor carriers) on circle calendar
Summary
The House introduced first substitute House Bill 308 regarding workers' compensation for motor carriers (reported from Business of Labor 12-0-2) and, after Representative Ipsen moved to "circle" the bill, the motion passed and the bill was placed on the circle calendar; the House then recessed briefly.
Clerk introduced first substitute House Bill 308, titled "workers' compensation, motor carriers," and noted the Business of Labor Committee had reported the bill out with a committee vote of 12 yes, 0 no, 2 absent. The clerk read the bill title and committee report to the chamber.
Representative Ipsen said, "I wish to make a motion to circle this bill." The Speaker called for discussion, a voice response of "Aye" was recorded, and the clerk announced the bill would be circled (removed from immediate consideration and placed on the circle calendar). No recorded opposition or recorded roll-call tally was provided for the circle motion on the transcript.
Following that action, the Speaker raised timing concerns because of an ongoing committee and asked for a motion to "saunter for about 15 minutes." An unidentified member moved, "I move we saunter for 15 minutes," the motion passed and the House recessed briefly.
The transcript records the committee origin and the motions but does not record any floor debate on HB308's merits or a roll-call tally for the motion to circle. The Business of Labor committee vote on the bill was 12 yes, 0 no, 2 absent as announced by the clerk.
