House committee moves House Bill 51‑54 to the floor after substitute votes; attempt to tie‑bar amendment not adopted
Summary
The House Education and Workforce Committee considered a substitute and an attempted tie‑bar amendment on House Bill 51‑54; the transcript records a failed attempt to adopt an H‑1 sub (sub not adopted) and later the committee reported HB 51‑54 as substitute H‑1 to the floor (clerk announced 'Motion prevails').
The committee took up House Bill 51‑54 (sponsored by Speaker Pro Tem Schmidt) later in the session. Representative Wilson moved to adopt the H‑1 substitute; a member offered an amendment to tie‑bar the bill to House Bill 45‑76, a supplemental measure restoring funding to local projects, and moved that amendment.
The clerk called the roll on the proposed sub/adoption. The clerk announced the first roll call result as "4 yays, 0 nays, 7 pass" and stated the H‑1 substitute was not adopted.
The committee then proceeded to a separate motion to report House Bill 51‑54 as substitute H‑1 to the floor. The transcript includes a subsequent recorded roll call whose numeric reading is unclear in the record (the clerk's announcement reads as a garbled numeric string in the transcript), but the clerk declared, "Motion prevails." The committee adjourned thereafter.
Motion details recorded in the committee transcript include the tie‑bar amendment (mover spoke in favor citing community funding), Representative Wilson as mover for the H‑1 substitute, and the clerk's roll calls and announcements. The transcript does not provide a clear, machine‑readable final numeric tally for the second roll call; the clerk's declaration that the motion prevailed is recorded.
