Votes at a glance: Rules Committee advances several bills unanimously
Summary
On this Rules Committee calendar the panel recorded unanimous voice votes advancing SB 395 (medical cannabis data‑sharing), SB 384 (optional five‑year tags), and SB 435 (name correction for development authority); motions were made and seconded on the record and carried by voice vote.
The Rules Committee recorded unanimous voice votes advancing multiple measures on its calendar.
SB 395 (medical cannabis cards): The committee voted "do pass" after the sponsor narrowed the bill to address communication between the Department of Public Health and the medical board on card records. The chair called the voice vote after a motion and second; the motion carried unanimously.
SB 384 (five‑year vehicle tag): After questions about emissions testing, tag readers and transfer/refund rules, the committee approved advancing the measure as part of the meeting’s final motions. The sponsor said the five‑year tag is optional, triggers electronic notifications, and has no refunds for unused years.
SB 435 (name correction for the Georgia Development Authority): The committee approved a technical bill to add "agriculture" back into the authority’s name; the sponsor described the change as correcting a 66‑year‑old omission.
Motions were recorded on the floor as coming from the vice chairman and were seconded (the transcript records a second from Senator Anderson); the chair called the unanimous voice vote. The transcript does not record individual roll‑call tallies for these measures.
