Floor roundup: Senate advances several bills to the House or enrollment
Summary
On a busy floor day the Senate recorded passage or calendar placement for multiple bills, including SB 108 (social work amendments), SB 123 (motion picture licensing repeal), and several budget/substitute bills placed on the second reading calendar or consent. Tallies were announced on the floor for each action.
Senators handled a range of routine actions and individual bill passages during the session.
SB 108 (social work amendments, sponsor Senator Davis) was carried to final floor action and the President announced it had received 24 yea votes with 5 absent; it was sent to the House for consideration.
SB 123 (motion picture licensing amendments; sponsor Senator Shiozawa) repeals an obsolete requirement for pre‑screening films and passed by a recorded tally announced as 27 yea, 0 nay, 2 absent. Sponsors described the law as an obsolete restriction that would have impeded contemporary film events.
Multiple committee reports recommending bills for second reading or placement on the consent calendar were adopted by motion (examples include recommendations to place HB 56, SB 144, SB 127 and other bills on the consent or second‑reading calendars). Several bills were circled for substitute versions (including First Substitute SB 1, First Substitute SB 5 and First Substitute SB 7) and were scheduled for action later in the day.
