Committee combines HB 3532 and HB 3483, advances substitute by unanimous vote
Summary
In executive session the House Committee on Elementary and Secondary Education rolled two bills into a committee substitute and voted 16–0 to report the substitute 'do pass' to the rules committee.
The House Committee on Elementary and Secondary Education voted to roll House Bill 3532 and House Bill 3483 into a single committee substitute and advanced that substitute to the rules committee by a roll-call vote of 16–0.
Chair (committee) moved to treat the filings as a single bill and to vote the substitute 'do pass.' Representative Kelly offered an amendment described as a clerical cleanup that also combined the two bill strings. The committee adopted the amendment by voice vote and then the chair moved to roll it into the committee substitute and vote the substitute 'do pass.' The clerk called the roll and the chair announced a vote of 16 aye and 0 no.
The chair said the next procedural step is that the committee chair will turn in the substitute and it will be referred to a rules committee before it reaches the full House floor. No floor or policy details of the merged substitute were discussed in open session; the action in committee was procedural and aimed at correcting clerical language and consolidating the two sponsor filings for consideration.
No witnesses testified during the executive session and no amendments beyond the clerical substitute were recorded. The committee returned to open session after recording the unanimous vote.
