Committee gives LC610425S a do-pass recommendation and moves it to rules
Summary
The Higher Education Committee took a voice vote to move LC610425S with a do-pass recommendation to rules after a motion by Chairman Carpenter and a second; the record shows an oral 'aye' vote and the measure will proceed to the rules committee.
Late in the hearing the committee called up LC610425S (a committee substitute previously circulated). Chairman Carpenter moved that the item "do pass" and a committee member seconded the motion (pro forma naming in the record: Whitpark/Halsey were named as seconding earlier). The chair asked for discussion, heard none, and the panel approved the recommendation by voice vote: "All those in favor say aye," members replied "Aye," and the item was sent to rules with a do-pass recommendation.
The committee did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript; the action appears to have been a voice vote and the chair announced the item's referral to rules.
What happens next: LC610425S will be considered by the rules committee per standard legislative procedure; the sponsor and staff will follow up with any technical clarifications requested in committee.
