Summary

Senator Thompson moved that the Senate nonconcur with House amendments to Senate Bill 254 and requested a conference committee. The motion carried on a voice vote; the chair appointed six Senate conferees including Thompson and Johnson.

Senator Thompson moved that the Senate "nonconcur house amendments to senate bill 254 and request the conference committee be appointed," and the motion carried on a voice vote.

The request initiated the formal appointment of conferees for the Senate. The presiding officer announced the Senate conferees as Senator Johnson, Senator Thompson, Senator Barton, Senator Blue, Senator Cedric and Senator Faust Gadeau.

The action on the floor was procedural: the motion to nonconcur and request a conference committee sends the House amendments to a multi-chamber committee to negotiate a single bill language for both chambers to consider. The transcript records a voice vote; no roll-call tally or individual recorded votes were provided on the floor record.

No amendments to the motion were recorded during floor debate, and the chair's appointment of conferees concluded the conference request. The Senate then resumed other business.

The Senate did not record further debate on SB 254 in this transcript. The next formal step, per the action taken, is for the appointed conferees from both chambers to meet and attempt to reconcile differences between the Senate and House versions of the bill.
