Committee gives favorable report to SB89, repeals 1931 statute for state politics commission
Summary
The committee moved SB89 out of committee with a unanimous recorded committee vote; sponsor Senator Sessions said the bill removes a 1931 statute so the commission operates under the 2019 statute going forward.
The Senate committee voted to give Senate Bill 89 a favorable report after the sponsor described the measure as a technical cleanup to resolve overlapping statutes for the state politics commission.
Senator Sessions, the bill sponsor, told the committee it "does away with the 1931 statute" and that "we will be living by the 2019 statute." An unidentified committee member moved a favorable report and the motion was seconded.
The clerk called the roll for the committee vote; Senators Karnley, Chastain, Coleman, Figures, Gabbin, Hatcher, Hovey, Kelly, Melson, Roberts, Woods, Weaver and Bell each responded "Aye." The committee recorded 13 'Aye' votes and no recorded 'No' or 'Abstain' votes on the motion to advance SB89.
The committee's action sends the bill forward for further consideration on the floor. No amendments or dissenting views were recorded in the provided segments.
