Senate adopts several House bills and committee recommendations; consent calendar advanced
Summary
On Day 11 the Senate signed or passed multiple House bills and committee-recommended measures (including HB53 removing a Business Advisory Board, HB43 keeping the Instructional Materials Commission, and others placed on consent). A set of bills were transmitted or scheduled for further consideration.
The Senate processed a group of bills on the consent calendar and accepted committee reports recommending second reading placement. House Bill 53 (removing the Business Advisory Board) was recorded as having received 27 yay votes and will be sent for signature. House Bill 43 (State Instructional Materials Commission) was presented by Senator Milner, who moved its passage; the sponsor argued for removing the sunset clause to keep the commission in place. Committees reported favorably on a set of other bills (e.g., House Bill 30 Good Landlord program amendments; House Bill 32 subdivision parcel tax amendments; HB57 ADR sunset amendments; Senate Bill 106 assault offense amendments; SB105 bridal amendments) and the Senate voted to place these bills on the second-reading or consent calendar as read.
Several introductions and committee assignments took place earlier in the day; the Rules Committee and other standing committees' recommendations were adopted by voice vote on the floor.
