Senate Education Committee moves several bills and adopts amendments in executive session
Summary
After testimony, the committee entered executive session, made motions on multiple bills (including SB 429, SB 432 as amended, SB 433, SB 517, SB 531, SB 577 and others), adopted some amendments and recorded several 5‑0 and 4‑1 or 3‑2 votes; some bills were placed on consent and some taken off consent for floor consideration.
After public testimony the committee recessed and went into executive session to consider several bills. The committee made motions, adopted amendments and recorded outcomes across a set of bills:
- SB 429: Motion to pass (ought to pass) recorded; committee vote 5‑0, moved to consent. - SB 432: An amendment (0090s) was adopted (committee discussion and a recorded aye vote); the bill was later voted ought to pass as amended and placed on consent. - SB 433: Committee voted ought to pass, 5‑0, and moved to consent. - SB 517: Ought to pass recorded and sent to finance; vote 5‑0; placed on consent with the option to take off consent later. - SB 531, SB 577 and others: motions made; SB 577 (food dye/opt‑in bill) had discussion on fiscal impact and was given an ought to pass vote with members noting implementation concerns; for some bills senators asked to take items off consent for floor debate. - Amendments and intermediate votes recorded: at least one amendment adoption vote was 4‑1; another bill (SB 580) had votes reported as 3‑2 for ought to pass with amendment; SB 579 was moved to interim study.
The transcript records multiple roll calls and unanimous 5‑0 consent votes, as well as a handful of non‑unanimous committee votes and decisions to place items on or off the consent calendar. Committee members signaled intent to bring some bills to the floor with floor debate and to consult the finance committee on fiscal notes for certain measures.
