Summary
The Senate Rules Committee approved several non-appearing gubernatorial appointments 4–0, granted a waiver to hear SB 1447 past the policy deadline, and advanced nominees for director-level posts to the full Senate by unanimous votes.
The Senate Rules Committee recorded several unanimous committee actions during its public agenda. The committee approved three non-appearing gubernatorial appointments 4–0: Frank Damrell Jr. (Alcoholic Beverage Control Appeals Board, item 2c), Michelle Ediger (Board of Barbering and Cosmetology, item 2d), and David Galaviz (State Park and Recreation Commission, item 2e).
The committee also voted to suspend JR 61 to allow SB 1447 (health) to be heard past the policy committee deadline; vice chair Grove moved the waiver and the committee approved it 4–0.
Two nominees who appeared before the committee were advanced to the full Senate for confirmation by roll call votes of 4–0: Clint Kellum (Department of Cannabis Control, moved by Senator Jones) and Jennifer Osborne (Department of Industrial Relations, moved by Vice Chair Grove). In both cases the committee requested follow-up information from nominees on enforcement examples or metrics tied to their program responsibilities.
Roll-call votes in the hearing record list members voting yes as Limon, Grove, Jones and Reyes; the committee clerk recorded all ballots. The committee closed the public portion of the hearing and moved into closed session.
