Committee records: ITL recommendations and roll‑call outcomes on several measures
Summary
In executive sessions the committee voted ITL (inexpedient to legislate) on HB 1183 (math graduation requirement), CACR 28 (constitutional amendment on religious bodies), and HB 1829 (definitions for persistently dangerous schools); roll calls were recorded and tallies reported to the committee.
During the Education Committee’s executive session the panel recorded several formal actions and roll‑call outcomes.
- HB 1183 (relative to the mathematics requirement for high school graduation): Representative Cornell moved ITL citing unfunded mandate concerns, loss of local control for career‑technical students and staffing needs; the roll call recorded 13 yeas and 2 nays and the motion carried.
- CACR 28 (constitutional amendment language regarding churches and teacher contracts): Representative Belcher moved ITL after discussion about constitutional conflicts and the risk of inserting state authority into religious affairs; the committee recorded a majority in favor of ITL (14 yeas, 1 nay noted in the record).
- HB 1829 (persistently dangerous schools definitions): Committee members discussed statutory reporting requirements and the Department of Education’s need for LEA review of definitions; the committee voted ITL with a unanimous or near‑unanimous roll call reported as 15 yeas, 0 nays.
The committee closed each executive session item after the recorded votes. The roll‑call tallies above match the minutes announced during the session; the committee did not debate amendments on the floor during that session. These actions will be reflected in committee reports and on the House calendar.
