Votes at a glance: multiple third-reading bills cleared by the House
Summary
On March 4 the House cleared a slate of third-reading bills with recorded votes including licensing changes, highway patrol fund increases, water-meter tenant protections, and public-building repurposing; several passed unanimously while others drew divided votes.
Beyond the session’s headline debates, the House considered and passed multiple bills on third reading on March 4.
Notable outcomes included: - House Committee Substitute for HB1797 (CPA licensing flexibility): passed (yeas 142, nays 0). - HB1786 (increase Highway Patrol vehicle revolving fund authority to $500,000): passed (yeas 139, nays 4). - HB2105 (tenant notification for water meter and ratio/submeter billing rules): passed (yeas 129, nays 9). - HB2397 (options for water district sale threshold): passed (yeas 130, nays 15). - HB2108 (conveyance bill for local infrastructure in Jefferson): passed (yeas 143, nays 1). - HB2818 (annexation of St. Joseph airport): passed (yeas 137, nays 8). - HB1980 (include EMTs in existing peer-review protections): passed (yeas 118, nays 19). - Second House committee substitute for HB2780 (property tax reform package): passed (yeas 133, nays 13).
Floor sponsors briefly described each measure and members asked targeted implementation or constitutional questions for some bills (for example, whether HB2404/2172 could impair private contracts). Several measures passed with strong bipartisan margins, and a few, especially those tied to urban property issues or levy provisions, produced more extended discussion and requests for future refinements.
Ending: The bills listed above were recorded as passed on the House floor and will proceed to the Senate or further legislative steps as appropriate.
