Senate introduces a slate of bills; committees recommend amendments and passage; session adjourned until Feb. 9
Summary
The Senate opened, the clerk read introductions for Senate Bills 495–498 and several committees reported recommending amendments and passage of multiple bills; Senator Fagg moved to adjourn until 2:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 9, 2026, and the motion carried by voice vote.
The Senate convened and the presiding officer called the body to order. The clerk read the calendar and introduced four bills: Senate Bill 495 (commerce; motor vehicles), Senate Bill 496 (education), Senate Bill 497 (public health and welfare; controlled substances) and Senate Bill 498 (assessment and taxation). The chair said these readings constitute introduction of Senate Bill 495 through Senate Bill 498.
Several standing committees then reported recommendations to amend and pass specific measures. The committee on federal and state affairs recommended amending and adopting Senate Concurrent Resolution 1617. The committee on financial institutions and insurance recommended that Senate Bill 360 be amended and passed as amended. The committee on local governments and transparency in ethics recommended that Senate Bill 396 be amended and passed as amended. The committee on federal and state affairs additionally recommended that Senate Bill 355 be amended and passed as amended. The committee on transportation recommended that Senate Bill 367 and Senate Bill 321 each be amended and passed as amended. The transcript records the committees' recommendations but does not include floor debate or fuller bill text in this session.
At the chair's recognition, Senator Fagg moved, "I move the senate adjourn until 02:30PM on Monday, 02/09/2026." The presiding officer called for the question. A voice vote was taken; the transcript records "Aye" and no opposing voices, and the presiding officer stated, "Motion carried." The transcript does not record a numerical tally for the vote.
The presiding officer then declared the Senate adjourned. No additional debate, amendments offered on the floor, or roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the provided transcript.
Next procedural step: the Senate reconvenes at the time stated in the motion unless further notice is given.
