Summary

Senate Bill 294 (Ayers) was conformed to House Bill 1361 (Del. Maldonado) and reported out of the subcommittee as a substitute by an 8-0 vote; the chair noted the bill mirrors language that passed a civil law subcommittee and the House.

The General Laws, Housing and Consumer Protection Subcommittee voted unanimously to conform Senate Bill 294, introduced by Senator Ayers, to House Bill 1361 and to report the item as a substitute.

The chair told members that Senator Ayers asked that her Senate bill be conformed to language from Delegate Maldonado's House bill (House Bill 1361). Committee members moved and seconded a motion to conform the bills and to report the substituted language. The chair noted the measure is identical to a bill that had passed the civil law subcommittee and the House.

The committee then reported the substitute by recorded vote of 8 to 0. The meeting concluded shortly thereafter with a motion to adjourn.
