Senate meeting approves calendar, refers SB116 to standing committee and adjourns
Summary
During a brief session, the Senate referred Senate Bill 116 to a standing committee, placed three bills on the consideration calendar for tomorrow, approved the calendar by voice vote and adjourned. Members summarized bills on cemetery access, property-tax timing and fisheries management.
Sarah Walker, president, opened the session, moved to refer Senate Bill 116 to a standing committee and noted the bill will be heard alongside Senator Williams' bill tomorrow. "Senate bill 116 is off to standing," Walker said after the motion carried by voice vote.
The chamber reviewed the consideration calendar — three bills were listed — and senators summarized the measures expected on the floor. Senators discussed Senate Bill 146 on cemetery access, Senate Bill 382 on property-tax timing and what attendees called a "floss" tax, and Senate Bill 420 on state fisheries management.
A second motion from the majority leader was called, seconded by Senator Robertson, and approved by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The president declared the motion carried and adjourned the meeting. Members were told to meet their committees as scheduled.
