Finance Committee Takes Multiple Votes, Approves Amendments and Moves Several Bills on Consent
Summary
After hearings the committee entered executive session, approved an ITL recommendation on HB 104, passed a committee amendment to remove an appropriation section from another bill, and advanced multiple bills on consent or to table; scheduling and next steps were discussed.
Following the public hearings, the Senate Finance Committee moved into executive session and conducted a series of procedural actions across several bills.
Key actions recorded in the transcript: the committee voted to recommend ITL (Inexpedient to Legislate) on HB 104 after debate and testimony (mover recorded as "Jerry" in the transcript). The committee approved a committee amendment to strike section 2 (the appropriation) from bill 663 and then voted to pass the bill as amended. The committee advanced several bills on consent and discussion included how to handle second-committee bills, an upcoming caucus and scheduling the next Finance meeting to start at 1:30 p.m.
Senators also moved a mix of "ought to pass" and "move on to pass" motions across a number of bills (including motions on bills referenced as 603, 662, 603/605/669 and others in the transcript). Multiple motions passed with oral "ayes" recorded; the transcript does not provide full roll-call tallies for most votes.
The committee adjourned after completing the executive-session business and setting timing for future committee work.
What’s next: recorded committee actions and the ITL recommendation will be reflected in the committee’s minutes and forwarded to the full Senate as appropriate; where roll-call tallies are required they would appear in the official record.
