Senate approves minor technical change and extension for state flag commission
Summary
Senators concurred and passed First Substitute Senate Bill 2003, a minor edit removing a dated October deadline and extending the state flag commission; the bill passed the Senate 24–3 with two absent and will return to the House.
The Senate voted to concur with and then adopt First Substitute Senate Bill 2003, described by the sponsor as a mostly technical change to state law concerning the state flag.
Senator McKay said the bill removes an October deadline related to adopting or replacing the state flag and extends the flag commission, describing it as a small, noncontroversial change. The sponsor moved to concur and later moved for final passage under suspension of the rules.
A roll-call vote followed. The presiding officer announced that First Substitute Senate Bill 2003 had received 24 yea votes, 3 nay votes and 2 absent and therefore passed this body; it will be returned to the House for the Speaker’s signature.
The bill was characterized on the floor as procedural and noncontroversial; the transcript shows no recorded amendments or extended debate.
