Votes at a glance: Committee passes a slate of technical and public-safety bills
Summary
In addition to major measures, the committee approved multiple shorter or technical bills by voice vote, including SB 174 (prescription-pad tracing), HB 13 84 (sponsor amendment), HB 13 89 (utility battery clarification), SB 402 (orders of protection language alignment), and HB 11 26 (victim-address provisions).
The Senate Judiciary Committee disposed of several shorter or technical bills during the hearing, taking voice votes or approving sponsor amendments with little debate.
Notable items recorded in the transcript as passed by voice vote or with adopted amendments:
- SB 174 (amendment added to include Department of Correction/Community Correction and individualized prescription pads to enhance traceability) — committee voted to pass the bill as amended. - HB 13 84 (amendment adding a senator as sponsor) — amendment adopted and motion to pass carried. - HB 13 89 (clarifies that backup batteries and emergency power supplies in remote cabinets are covered under theft/damage statutes) — passed after a brief presentation by an industry representative. - SB 402 (aligns language between Title 5 and Title 9 regarding violations of orders of protection) — passed by voice vote after brief questions. - HB 11 26 (victim-rights provisions allowing victims to address defendants under judicial discretion) — passed by voice vote.
These items were handled with minimal public testimony and advanced by the committee to the next legislative step.
Where the transcript records only a voice vote, no roll-call tally was available.
