Committee adopts substitute and advances House Committee substitute for HB 3,256, 5-1
Summary
In executive session the Special Committee adopted a committee substitute and voted to recommend that the House Committee substitute for House Bill 3,256 be reported 'due pass' by a vote of 5 yes, 1 no; at least one member opposed citing concerns about criminal provisions in the bill.
During an executive session called by the committee chair, members considered House Bill 3,256. The chair moved adoption of a committee substitute (ending in 0.04 C), which the committee adopted, and then moved that the committee report the House Committee substitute for HB 3,256 as 'due pass.'
A committee member voiced concern about criminal provisions in the bill and said those provisions were unusual compared with other states; that member and others noted objections raised by business groups such as the Chamber of Commerce. The opposed member recorded a 'no' during the roll call; the chair announced the result as five yes votes and one no, and the committee recorded a recommendation that the House Committee substitute for HB 3,256 be reported with a 'due pass' recommendation.
The committee did not record additional floor amendments during the executive session; the sponsor of the substitute was invited earlier to summarize changes to retail definitions and carve-outs before the executive motion. The motion and result will be reflected in the committee's report to the broader chamber.
