Committee favorably reports House Bill 29 to Rules and Reference after unanimous roll call
Summary
The Government Oversight and Reform Committee favorably reported House Bill 29 to the Committee on Rules and Reference after members recorded unanimous 'yes' responses during a roll call; written proponent testimony from diaper advocacy groups and the ACLU was noted on the record.
The Government Oversight and Reform Committee voted to favorably report House Bill 29 to the Committee on Rules and Reference during its session. Vice Chair Brunner moved the motion and members recorded unanimous affirmative responses during the roll call.
The motion to favorably report HB 29 was made by Vice Chair Brunner, who stated, "Madam chair, I would like to favorably report House Bill 29 to the committee on rules in reference." The clerk then performed a roll call; following a sequence of 'Yes' responses from members present, the presiding officer announced, "With sufficient votes, the bill is favorably reported to the Committee on Rules and Reference."
The chair noted that written-only proponent testimony had been submitted and placed on members' iPads. The submissions listed on the record were from Ariana Smith on behalf of the National Diaper Bank Network and the Alliance for Period Supplies; Lisa Flowers on behalf of herself; and Gary Daniels on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio. The committee did not take public oral testimony during this hearing; the record reflects those written proponent statements.
Committee business opened with a procedural roll call and approval of minutes from the Nov. 5 meeting, which were accepted "without objection." The presiding officer also announced that "the rule for all votes in today's committee will remain open until 5PM." After the motion and the roll call vote on HB 29, the presiding officer said, "This concludes the third hearing on House Bill 29," and adjourned the committee.
Votes at a glance: the motion to favorably report House Bill 29 was recorded as unanimous in the roll call sequence; the clerk's roll call produced seven affirmative responses and no recorded negative, abstaining, or recused votes. Detailed individual vote attributions are not listed in the transcript record beyond the sequential 'Yes' responses called during roll call.
Next steps: the measure will proceed to the Committee on Rules and Reference for further consideration.
