Summary
The Senate Judiciary Committee adopted an amendment to House Bill 31 clarifying the bill's definition of 'victim's family' and favorably reported the bill to rules and reference during its fourth hearing.
The Senate Judiciary Committee adopted Amendment 18‑7051 to House Bill 31 and voted to favorably report the bill to the Committee on Rules and Reference.
Chair Manning called the fourth hearing for House Bill 31. Vice Chair Reynolds moved adoption of Amendment 18‑7051, saying the change makes confirming edits to the bill’s definition of “victim’s family.” The committee adopted the amendment "without objection," and Vice Chair Reynolds then moved to favorably report the bill to rules and reference. The motion passed on the roll call called by the clerk.
The committee record shows no public testimony at the hearing; committee members approved the motion and the referral proceeded as the fourth hearing on HB31.
The committee’s action is procedural: the amendment was adopted and the chair ordered the bill referred for the next stage of consideration. No further committee vote totals beyond the roll call were recorded on the transcript.
The Judiciary Committee will consider the bill’s further progress in rules and reference.
