Loading...
Summary
The Banking Committee moved 18 bills — covering mortgages, commercial financing, data security and hospital sale-leaseback protections — to a consent calendar, with roll-call votes requested and votes left open until 3 p.m.; several bills drew substantive questions before being consented.
The Banking Committee met March 10 and voted to move 18 banking-related measures to a consent calendar, setting several for roll-call votes remaining open until 3:00 p.m.
Chair (identified in the transcript as "madam chair") opened the session and presided as the committee advanced measures including SB215 on abandonment of property held by banking organizations, SB216 establishing a community bank and credit union investment program, SB217 (mortgage payment timing), SB218 (a study of statewide banking issues), SB219 (civil penalties tied to rental security deposit violations), HB5208 (a study of financial transactions), HB5210 (data security requirements for financial institutions), HB5213 (payroll processing working group), HB5314 (Homes for Connecticut loan program), HB5315 (consumer fraud working group), HB5316 (sale-leaseback financing restrictions), HB5317 (mortgage-loan definitions for flood-insurance notices) and HB5318 (candidate committee banking accounts).
The clerk called the consent calendar roll call and read the list of included agenda items. Several individual roll calls were also requested for specific bills (for example SB217 and HB5211); the clerk announced member votes as they were provided. The chair reminded members that votes would remain open until 3:00 p.m. and recessed the committee until that time.
Several bills were placed on the consent calendar after brief procedural questions or motion and second; in cases where members raised substantive concerns the committee nevertheless added the bills so proponents could continue work on amendments before floor consideration.
Next steps: roll-call tallies were opened and left to be completed by 3:00 p.m.; the items moved to the consent calendar will be available for floor action after committee procedures conclude.
