Sen. Lita Chacon asked the Senate to recommit S 959, the workplace psychological safety act, saying the committee had transmitted additional language after the bill was reported and that corrections were needed before final action.

"I would ask that this bill be recommitted to the committee since, upon passage, from the committee, we received additional language and will correct some of the bill," Sen. Chacon said on the floor. The presiding officer granted the request and ordered the measure returned to committee rather than proceed to a final vote.

No further debate or amendments were recorded on the floor; the recommittal means the bill will be revised and reconsidered in committee.
