Senate passes multiple bills on 3rd reading; summary of quick floor votes
Summary
In a series of voice votes, the Senate passed H72 (harm-reduction/criminal justice response to drug use), H173 (prohibiting manipulation of a child for sexual contact), and H655 (sealing of criminal history records); H877 was referred to committee by suspended rules.
During the morning floor session the Senate disposed of several calendar items by voice vote. The clerk read H72 (an act relating to harm reduction and criminal justice response to drug use) for third reading and the Senate declared the bill passed. The clerk then read H173 (an act relating to prohibiting manipulation of a child for the purpose of sexual contact) for third reading and the Senate passed that bill as well. The Senate also passed H655 (an act relating to qualifying offenses for sealing criminal history records and access to sealed records) on third reading.
Earlier the body suspended the rules to refer H877 (miscellaneous agricultural subjects) to the Committee on Natural Resources and Energy with the Agriculture Committee’s report intact. These items proceeded largely without amendment on the floor and by voice vote.
