House transmits election-law bills; Senate rules committee assigns several bills to standing committees
Summary
The House transmitted HB 84 (election law recodification) and HB 88 (technical amendments) to the Senate; the Senate Rules Committee reported multiple bills and resolutions and assigned them to standing committees and the second-reading calendar.
On Jan. 18, 1994, the Senate clerk read a communication that the House of Representatives had passed HB 84 (election law recodification, Rep. Bradshaw) and HB 88 (election law technical amendments, Rep. Bradshaw) and had transmitted both bills to the Senate for consideration. The clerk read the bills for the first time and noted their referral to the Senate Rules Committee.
Senate Rules Committee Chair John Holmgren reported a slate of bills and resolutions for printing and committee assignment, including SB 4 (contractor advertising), SCR 1 (resolution urging examination of banking regulation), SB 30 (expansion of local school board membership), SB 31 (choice in education pilot program), SB 39 (funding for assistive technology devices), SB 11 (extension of ID cards for persons with a disability), SB 59 (medical malpractice and litigation amendment), SB 9 (marriage by minors), SB 49 (emancipation of minors), SB 1 (cigarette tax), SB 6 (public transit district board), and others. Chair Holmgren asked that some bills be printed and assigned to standing committees and that others be placed on the second reading calendar.
The president and clerk then assigned bills to committees and placed several items on the second-reading calendar as reported. These procedural steps set multiple bills in line for committee hearings and future floor consideration.
