Senate assigns conference committee, places bills on calendar and adjourns until morning
Summary
During the same floor session senators assigned a conference committee for House Bill 146, placed multiple bills on the second‑reading calendar, and adjourned to reconvene at 8 a.m. the next day.
After action on Senate Bill 246, Senate leaders made a series of procedural announcements and motions.
Speaker 2 assigned a conference committee for Substitute House Bill 146, naming Senators Blackham, Tanner and Maine and designating Senator Blackham as committee chair. The Senate also voted to "uncircle" the first substitute to Senate Bill 239 following a voice call.
Senator Hilliard (Speaker 3 on the record) moved a slate of bills — including SB171 (health care quality), SB232 (political party registration requirement), SB177 (legislative oversight and sunset review), SB182 (UCC investment securities), SB184 (judiciary technical amendments), SB213 (prohibition on defendants profiting from criminal conduct) and SB224 (county financial procedures) — to the bottom of the second‑reading calendar to ensure business the following day.
Leadership reminded members to submit items for interim study and to confirm supplemental and fiscal notes. Speaker 5 urged members to provide outstanding items to staff and explained the Senate's intention to reconvene at 8 a.m. the next morning; the chamber then adjourned by voice vote.
These actions were procedural and set the Senate's agenda for the immediate future; no final policy enactments were taken in these announcements.
