The House recorded several final outcomes during the Feb. 4 floor session. Key recorded votes and procedural actions:
- SB22 (Street Legal All Terrain Vehicle Amendments): Passed 71-0 as amended in committee (floor later granted a motion to reconsider to allow a late amendment restoring a definition to cover certain "rock crawler" vehicles and to place SB22 at the top of the third-reading calendar for immediate consideration).
- SB13 (Administering Substances to Wildlife): Passed 67-5; the measure grants the Division of Wildlife Resources authority to authorize and require training for people administering designated drugs to wildlife.
- HB91 (Individual Development Account Amendments): Passed as amended 72-0; amendment adds eligible use for people with disabilities (e.g., assistive devices) under the matched-savings program.
- HB32 (Amendments to agency rulemaking regarding criminal penalties): Passed 72-0 after substitute amendments to clarify primacy and departmental exceptions.
- HB236 (Department of Community and Cultural Grants, as amended): Passed 49-24 after floor votes on substitute amendments (substitute at 2% administrative fee passed on a division and then final passage was recorded).
- HB15 (Career and Technical Education Amendments): Passed 71-0 after a series of negotiated amendments to governance, articulation, and campus structures.
Procedural notes: The Speaker and sponsors used 'circle' and 'uncircle' motions to manage the third-reading calendar, and the Rules Committee reported a batch of bills to standing committees. The House adjourned to reconvene at 10 a.m. on Feb. 5.
