Committee raises concepts 1–10 and schedules public hearings

The Public Safety and Security Committee voted by voice on Tuesday to raise concepts 1–10 for committee consideration and recessed the meeting until 3:00 p.m., with public hearings scheduled to begin next Tuesday.

Chair (unnamed in the transcript) said the list of concepts "represents ideas from all different quadrants of the legislature" and asked for a motion to raise concepts 1 through 10. Representative Sheikh moved to raise the concepts and Representative Rochelle seconded the motion.

Representative Howard, the committee's ranking member, cautioned that "these are concepts" and said he had shared with his caucus "what each of these concepts is expected to include," adding that formal bill language would follow later. Senator Ciccarella echoed Howard and welcomed the start of public hearings.

The committee took a voice vote; multiple members responded "Aye," and the chair declared "the ayes have it." The chair then recessed the session until 3:00 p.m. and said that public hearings would start next Tuesday and continue over the coming weeks.

There were no recorded roll-call vote tallies in the transcript; the motion was approved by voice vote as declared in the meeting record. Post-meeting remarks recorded in the transcript include staff confirming attendance marks and that the earlier action was taken by voice vote.
