Committee reports three bills after brief votes
Summary
The House Regulatory Reform Committee voted to report three bills — HB 5708, HB 5577 and HB 4931 (sub H-1) — advancing them from committee after roll-call votes, while delaying or withdrawing two other posted bills for further review.
The House Regulatory Reform Committee advanced three measures on voice and roll-call votes Wednesday, adopting a substitute on one bill and reporting the others with recommendations to the full House.
Chair Jerry Aragona presided over a series of procedural actions that began with a roll call and the adoption of previous minutes. Representative Nyer moved to report House Bill 5708 with recommendation; the clerk recorded 15 yays, 0 nays and 1 pass and the motion prevailed.
Representative Neely offered Amendment No. 1 to House Bill 5577 seeking to tie the bill to Senate Bill 303; the committee voted the amendment down (6 yays, 0 nays, 10 passes). Representative Fairbairn then moved to report HB 5577 with recommendation; that motion carried on roll call, 16 yays, 0 nays.
On House Bill 4931 the committee adopted substitute H-1 and then voted to report the bill as substituted; the clerk recorded 16 ayes, 0 nays. The chair said two additional posted bills (sponsored by Representatives Alexander and Tisdell) were pulled from today’s agenda for further due diligence and will be considered after the spring break.
The committee adjourned after hearing testimony on a separate package of earned-wage-access bills.
