Votes at a glance: committee actions and amendments
Summary
During the session the committee approved minutes, adopted amendments on multiple bills, and passed two bills favorably as amended (HB2700 and HB2465); several hearings were closed without a recorded committee vote.
The Committee on Commerce, Labor and Economic Development recorded the following formal actions during the session:
- Approval of minutes: Committee approved the meeting minutes for the prior meeting on a voice vote (motion moved and seconded; chair declared motion passed).
- HB2700 (Kansas Digital Right to Repair Act): Committee adopted stakeholder amendments to narrow scope and rename the bill, then moved HB2700 favorably for passage as amended. Representative Ward moved the motion; Representative Boehme seconded; voice vote recorded and chair declared motion passed. The reviser was granted leave to renumber and correct a date (page 2, line 16 corrected to 2026).
- HB2465 (Freedom of Expression bill): Committee adopted an amendment that limited the measure to new section 1 and removed provisions affecting private licensing organizations so it would apply to governmental entities only. Representative Ward moved to pass the bill favorably as amended; Representative Boehme seconded; voice vote carried and the motion passed.
- Amendments: The committee passed the first stakeholder amendment to HB2700 (conferee package) and Representative Hsu’s amendment to rename the bill the "Kansas Digital Right to Repair Act." The committee also adopted a technical amendment correcting a date in the HB2700 package. Several hearings (HB2603, HB2229, HB2737) were held and closed without committee votes during this session.
These actions were recorded by voice votes; the transcript does not include roll‑call tallies for these motions. Where movers or seconders were named in the record, they are listed above.
