Committee approves amendment moving H5 effective date to July 1, 2026
Summary
The Judiciary committee found favorable an amendment to H5 (draft 1.51) that changes the bill’s effective date from July 1, 2020 to July 1, 2026, then passed H5 as amended by roll call; one member was recorded absent.
Speaker 1 introduced H5 and an amendment on the bill’s effective date. The amendment (draft 1.51) replaces the previously listed effective date of July 1, 2020 with July 1, 2026. Speaker 1 moved to find the amendment favorable and to pass H5 as amended.
Members registered brief administrative notes (one member, Jen Paul, was ill and tuning in). The clerk called the roll for H5; multiple members answered 'Yes' to pass the amendment and the bill as amended, and Kristy was recorded as absent. The committee concluded the roll call and prepared to reconvene at 11:00 for scheduled testimony.
The committee’s action amends the bill’s effective date and advances H5 to the next step in the legislative process.
