Summary

The Committee on Transportation approved multiple bills and a set of amendments during the session, including favorable passage of HB 2606, HB 2605 (as amended), HB 2584 (as amended), and HB 2615.

The Committee on Transportation took final action on several bills during the meeting.

- House Bill 2606: The committee moved to pass HB 2606 (amending the definition of "conviction" in the Kansas Uniform Commercial Driver's License Act to conform with a court ruling). An unidentified committee member moved the bill and Representative Hobason seconded; an oral aye vote carried the motion.

- House Bill 2605: The committee adopted an amendment to correct an honoree's title (changing "deputy sheriff" to "undersheriff") and then passed HB 2605 as amended after a motion and voice vote.

- House Bill 2584: After adopting a conceptual amendment to require the mailing address on a card to be a Kansas address and after debate, the committee carried HB 2584 favorably as amended. Two representatives (Representative Vaughn and Representative Hoy) asked to be recorded as voting 'no.'

- House Bill 2615: The committee waived the rules to work HB 2615 immediately and then approved the bill favorably for passage following proponent testimony supporting a memorial highway designation for Brigadier General George H. Wark.

Each motion and amendment was conducted by voice; the committee recorded two individual 'no' votes for HB 2584. Where specific individual vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript, the committee used voice votes to carry motions and amendments.
