House reconsiders and passes Engrossed House Bill 23 17 on final passage
Summary
On reconsideration the House advanced and passed Engrossed House Bill 23 17 after sponsors selected an amendment to include technical and community colleges; the roll call recorded 96 ayes, 0 nays.
The Washington State House of Representatives reconsidered and on final passage approved Engrossed House Bill 23 17 after sponsors decided to select an amendment that includes technical and community colleges.
Sponsors explained a conflict raised by the OSBI prompted selection of a single amendment that preserves technical and community college language. A sponsor urged colleagues to "please vote yes on this," noting the chosen amendment addressed the technical concern and advanced the bill to final passage.
The House recessed to open the roll call machine for final action. The clerk announced the tally as "96 ayes, 0 nays," and the presiding officer declared Engrossed House Bill 23 17 passed on reconsideration.
The House recorded the withdrawal and adoption of adjacent amendments earlier in the sequence: Amendment 14 99 was withdrawn; Amendment 15 25 was adopted by consent. No further amendments were reported before reconsideration and final passage. The House moved on after the passage and adopted a separate resolution honoring the Seattle Seahawks.
