House General Laws committee advances HB 2,468 and substitute for HB 2,481 in executive session
Summary
In executive session the House Committee on General Laws voted to advance House Bill 2,468 (10–3) and approved an amended substitute for House Bill 2,481 (9–3). Committee members adopted a sponsor amendment to HB 2,481 before rolling the sub into the bill and voting to advance it.
The House Committee on General Laws voted in executive session to advance two bills on the committee calendar.
Chair Keithley moved that House Bill 2,468 be voted 'do pass'; the committee recorded 10 ayes and 3 nos and the bill was advanced out of committee. Immediately afterward the chair moved HB 2,481 'do pass' and presented an amendment (.01 h) that the sponsor said aligned definitions with the governor's recommended language. Members discussed the amendment briefly and adopted it; the committee then rolled the House Committee sub into a new substitute and voted the substitute for HB 2,481 'do pass' by a recorded vote of 9 ayes and 3 nos.
The committee did not hold extended debate on either bill during the executive session. Following the votes the chair closed the executive session and opened the committee's regular agenda. The committee's formal motions and roll‑call tallies were read into the record during the session.
