House bill to mirror Senate procedural language fails in committee after roll call
Summary
A housekeeping House bill (HB1036) presented as a procedural match to a prior senate measure failed in committee following a roll call; the chair announced the bill 'fails' after members voted.
Senator Garner presented House Bill 1036 to the City, County & Local Affairs Committee and asked members for a favorable vote, saying the measure mirrors legislation already passed by the senate and serves cleanup and procedural purposes.
Members debated briefly and called a roll. The clerk recorded an initial tally that was described in the transcript as 3-3; the chair cast a deciding vote during the counting process, and then the chair announced, ‘‘Your bill fails, mister Garner.’’ The committee did not adopt the bill as presented.
Garner characterized the measure as identical to a bill running on the other side of the legislature and intended to keep procedural business moving. No amendments or additional public testimony were recorded in committee on the measure.
