Summary

The Ways and Means Committee moved several bills out of committee with recorded tallies: SB 275 (24‑0), SB 4 (24‑0), SB 68 (21‑3), HB 168/162 (23‑1), SB 204 (15‑8), SB 179 (24‑0), and the township/assessor measure (18‑6).

The Ways and Means Committee recorded votes on multiple bills during the session. Key outcomes announced by the chair and recorded in the transcript include:

- Senate Bill 275: Passed out of committee, 24 to 0. - Senate Bill 4 (as amended, including HCBS asset limits): Passed out of committee, 24 to 0. - Senate Bill 68 (school cell‑phone rules, with grant‑use language removed): Passed out of committee, 21 to 3. - House Bill 168/162 (technical amendment/conflict resolution): Passed out of committee, 23 to 1. - Senate Bill 204: Passed out of committee, 15 to 8. - Senate Bill 179 (Marion County road match schedule modified by chairman's amendment): Passed out of committee, 24 to 0. - Township assessor amendment/bill (northern township assessor vacancy): Passed out of committee, 18 to 6.

Several contested amendments required roll‑call votes (for example, Amendment 12 on SB 275 failed 9‑15). Where measures were taken by consent, the transcript typically records the chair taking consent rather than a full roll call.

This summary is drawn from roll‑call announcements and vote tallies recorded aloud in the committee transcript; individual member vote records are not reproduced here but are available in the committee's roll‑call record.
