Floor roundup: dozens of bills advanced to third reading; votes recorded
Summary
The Senate advanced multiple bills and substitutes to third reading, including SB87 (procurement), SB93 (agriculture nuisance), SB78 (intestate succession/minerals), SB84 (safety inspection fees), SB105 (hemp/cannabinoid compliance) and a series of concurrent resolutions; roll-call tallies were recorded for each item.
During the floor session the Senate moved a large group of bills through second-reading actions and into third-reading status. Among the items advanced with recorded roll-call tallies were:
• SB87 — Procurement of design professionals amendments (recorded as read for third time; sponsor noted technical change to include certified commercial interior designers).
• SB93 — Agriculture nuisance amendments (first substitute adopted; sponsor said the bill limits standing for out‑of‑state nuisance lawsuits beyond a half‑mile and provides further protections).
• SB78 — Intestate succession amendments (clarifies State Institutional Trust Lands Administration role when mineral rights are involved).
• SB105 — Hemp and cannabinoid amendments (brings state law into compliance with the federal farm bill; Department of Agriculture registration authority clarified).
• SB84 — First substitute to adjust safety-inspection statutory rates (doubling statutory rates left from prior law changes; sponsor said rates remain below market).
• Several concurrent resolutions and other measures (SCR3, SCR4, SCR6) were also advanced with recorded yeas and nos as noted on the floor. Roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript for each item as the clerk read results and the Senate ordered third readings where appropriate.
The Senate concluded the day's business and adjourned until 10 a.m. Tuesday.
