Senate passes H469 on remote directives, refers appointments and bills, and adjourns to March 12
Summary
On the floor the Senate passed H469 (remote electronic execution of advanced directives), referred judicial appointment Kate Gallagher to Judiciary, committed H780 and H847 to committees, passed over JRS41, and adopted an adjournment until Tuesday, March 12 at 9:30 a.m.
The Senate took several procedural actions and passed one bill by voice vote before adjourning.
The chamber completed the third reading and passage of H469, "an act relating to remote and electronic processes for executing an advanced directive." After the reading the presiding officer declared, "The ayes have it and you have passed H469."
Clerks announced committee referrals: H780 (judicial nominations and appointments) was committed to the Committee on Judiciary; H847 (peer support provider and recovery support specialist certification) was committed to the Committee on Health and Welfare. The Senate also announced a gubernatorial appointment: Superior Court Judge Kate Gallagher was referred to the Judiciary Committee for consideration.
The Senate noted it would pass over JRS 41 because the presenter was absent. Later, a senator from Windsor moved that the Senate stand adjourned until Tuesday, March 12 at 9:30 a.m.; the motion was adopted by voice vote after committee meeting announcements.
The floor record contains procedural voice votes for these actions; the transcript does not record roll-call tallies for the voice votes reported on the record.
