Committee adopts House substitute and amendment for Senate Bill 890; votes 11–1 to recommend do pass
Summary
The House Committee on Corrections and Public Institutions moved a House Committee substitute for Senate Bill 890, adopted an amendment restoring a mistakenly struck paragraph, and voted the substitute 'do pass' by roll call (11 ayes, 1 no).
The Committee on Corrections and Public Institutions on April 8 voted to recommend a House Committee substitute for Senate Bill 890.
During an executive session the committee adopted a distributed amendment (ending in 0.01h) intended to restore an unintentionally removed first paragraph in a section referenced as 217,550. The sponsor explained the amendment corrects a language error and retains the substantive deletion of a smaller, targeted provision. After members discussed the change and had their questions answered, the committee rolled the amendment into a new substitute and proceeded to a roll-call vote.
Madam Clerk called the roll and the committee recorded 11 ayes and 1 no; the chair announced the motion carried and that the House Committee substitute for Senate Bill 890 be recommended do pass. The committee then moved to the hearing portion of its agenda.
The motion and subsequent roll-call are procedural steps toward floor consideration and do not by themselves change statutory text; the committee record shows the amendment was adopted to restore the inadvertently repealed paragraph and the substitute was adopted to consolidate related changes before further consideration by the full chamber.
