At the March 7 State Agencies & Governmental Affairs Committee meeting, members moved and acted on a set of bills and resolutions. This 'Votes at a glance' summary lists committee motions and outcomes as recorded in the transcript.
- House Bill 1388 (juror disqualification/voter‑registration notification): Presented by Senator Matt Hitch. Committee motion carried by voice vote ('Aye').
- SR 14 (resolution concerning reported organ harvesting by the Chinese government): Presented by Bill Sample. Committee moved to pass; voice vote recorded as 'Aye.'
- House Bill 1277 (DHS contractor background checks): Presented by Senator Landseeds with Martina Smith (DHS). Committee reported 'Do pass as amended' by voice vote.
- House Bill 1430 (regulatory language cleanup): Presented by Senator Bob Ballinger. Committee moved 'Do pass' by voice vote after discussion (no roll call shown).
- Senate Bill 262 (ethics / statement of financial interest revisions): Presented by the sponsor. An attempted amendment failed due to insufficient votes on a roll call (chair said only three votes present; five required). The bill remained under committee consideration with sponsor revisions to follow.
- House Bill 1181 (procurement appeals): Presented by Representative Jeff Wardlaw; the committee adopted an amendment establishing an appeal to the state procurement director and passed the bill as amended by voice vote.
Transcript records indicate most outcomes were decided by voice vote and do not give full roll-call tallies; one procedural roll‑call (SB 262 amendment) was explicitly failed for lack of quorum. Where transcript shows an explicit roll call or named votes, those details are included; otherwise tallies are listed as not specified.
