Senate commerce committee advances multiple bills in morning work sessions
Summary
The committee voted to advance several measures: SB 15 12 and SB 15 13 were moved to the floor with 'do pass' recommendations; SB 15 24 was moved with subsequent referrals to Senate Finance and Revenue and the Joint Committee on Ways and Means; SB 15 93 dash-5 amendment was adopted and the bill was referred from Judiciary to Rules.
The Senate Committee on Commerce and General Government conducted several work sessions Wednesday morning before public hearings.
Committee staff summarized SB 15 12 (an extension and administrative revision to the 'prosperity 10,000' program). Vice Chair Drazen moved SB 15 12 to the floor with a 'do pass' recommendation and rescinded the referral to Ways and Means; the motion passed on roll call after members cast aye or no votes.
The committee adopted the dash-1 amendment to SB 15 13, which reestablishes and sets an operative date (07/01/2027) for a prohibition related to certain real estate naming terms. The amended bill was moved to the floor with a 'do pass' recommendation and the chair assigned himself as carrier.
The committee also discussed SB 15 24, which would create a Horse Racing Account funded by three-tenths of one percent of Oregon State Lottery net proceeds to support horse racing events and associated costs in specified counties; the committee moved SB 15 24 with a 'do pass' recommendation and added subsequent referrals to Senate Finance and Revenue and the Joint Committee on Ways and Means.
Later in the morning the committee adopted a dash-5 amendment to SB 15 93, altered the subsequent referral from Judiciary to Rules, and moved the measure with a 'do pass' recommendation to Rules for continued discussion. The committee recorded roll-call votes where motions passed.
No fiscal increases were reported for these measures during the summaries; staff emphasized that some subsequent referrals were necessary for appropriation or revenue distribution questions.
