Senate committee adopts wording change and advances SB 407
Summary
The Senate Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources adopted a substitute amendment changing the record language from "presented" to "provided," then voted to report Senate Bill 407 favorably as amended.
The Senate Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources amended and voted to advance Senate Bill 407 on a voice vote during its meeting.
The committee chair introduced a balloon amendment drawn up by Senator Titus and moved to add the language; during discussion Senator Francisco proposed substituting the word "provided" for "presented," noting the minutes likely show information was provided rather than presented. "I would prefer to use the word provided and provided to the senate committee because I believe that's when we got that information," Senator Francisco said.
Reviser Lawrence told the committee that either word was acceptable. The substitute motion to adopt the balloon amendment with the change from "presented" to "provided" was seconded and approved on a voice vote. Senator Francisco then moved that SB 407 be reported favorably as amended; the motion, seconded by Senator Bowser, carried and the chair announced the bill was "recommended favorably as amended." The record does not include a roll-call tally in the transcript.
Committee members were told the amended bill will not go to the consent calendar. The chair indicated the committee will monitor future related legislation and watch for messages from the House.
