Votes at a glance: what the Judiciary Committee reported out (Nov. 19)
Summary
On Nov. 19 the House Judiciary Committee favorably reported several bills to Rules and Reference: HB 88 (fentanyl-sentencing amendment adopted), HB 296 (favorably reported), SB 101 (amended and favorably reported), and HB 338 (Andy's Law, favorably reported). Written-only testimony was recorded for other items.
The House Judiciary Committee recorded the following formal outcomes during its Nov. 19 session:
- HB 88: Favorably reported to the Committee on Rules and Reference after the committee accepted Amendment 1505 (fentanyl-related-compound sentencing language) and tabled Amendment 1523 (which would have restored a knowledge requirement for mixtures).
- HB 296: The committee voted to pass HB 296 to Rules and Reference and recommended favorable passage.
- SB 101: The committee accepted sponsor amendments (including changes to clerk memorandum and trust-recording timing) and favorably reported the bill to Rules and Reference.
- HB 338 (Andy's Law): Following multiple rounds of testimony from corrections staff and union representatives and the tabling of several amendments, the committee favorably reported HB 338 to Rules and Reference.
Additionally, the committee closed certain in-person testimony and converted remaining witnesses to written-only statements to meet a floor deadline. House Bill 211 had written-only testimony from outside groups and the committee concluded its third hearing on that bill.
All reported bills were transmitted to Rules and Reference for potential scheduling on the floor; recorded roll-call details are in the committee transcript.
