Senate advances block of bills to third-reading calendar in morning session
Summary
A cluster of bills including SB73, SB24, SB6, SB7, SB17, SJR1, SB25 and SB12 received committee reports and were placed on the third-reading calendar, many under suspension of rules; the session ended after committee reports and scheduling actions.
During the floor session senators adopted committee reports and placed a set of bills on the third-reading calendar, often by voice vote or roll call after brief floor presentations.
Notable procedural actions included:
- SB73 (statute revision by Senator Holmgren): amendments to correct corporate naming were adopted and the bill was placed on the third-reading calendar under suspension of rules (roll-call reported 24 ayes, 0 nays).
- SB24 (condominium law revisions by Senator Mansell): the bill would allow completion of condominium developments after a five-year lapse if two-thirds of unit owners approve; placed on third reading (25 ayes reported).
- SB6 (proof of motor vehicle insurance by Senator Stewart), SB7 (practice permit amendments by Senator Steele), and SB17 (impounding registered vehicles by Senator Stevenson) were each discussed briefly and placed on the third-reading calendar following motions and roll calls.
- SJR1 (disabled veterans property tax exemption by Senator Black) was discussed with attention to fiscal-note implications and placed on the third-reading calendar; sponsors emphasized the CRC's language and noted the amendment would appear on the ballot.
- SB25 (administrative rule-making amendments by Senator McAllister) and SB12 (advisory council on intergovernmental relations amendments) were also amended as needed and advanced to third reading.
The Senate concluded the day's business with committee reports and adjourned until the following morning at 10:00 a.m.
