Senate adopts multiple conference committee reports including HB2314 on adult-oriented establishments
Summary
On the final day the Senate adopted several conference committee reports, including House Bill 2314 (amending TCA title 7, chapter 51 and title 39 on adult-oriented establishments), House Bill 2422 (education date correction), and others; votes were recorded on the floor as conference reports were taken up.
The Senate considered and adopted multiple conference committee reports during the session, moving a set of House bills through final action.
House Bill 2314 (sponsored in the House by Senator Bolling) was read and described as an act to amend TCA title 7, chapter 51, and title 39 relating to adult-oriented establishments. Senator Bolling moved adoption of the conference committee report and the Senate adopted the report; the clerk announced the tally as 29 ayes and no nays.
Other conference committee reports adopted on the floor included HB2422 (education bill with a date change) and several additional house bills where the House had adopted conference reports and the Senate concurred. Clerk announcements and roll-call tallies were read into the record for each adopted report.
Why it matters: Adoption of conference committee reports finalizes legislation that has passed both chambers, resolves House-Senate differences and moves measures to the governor's desk. The bills include statutory changes (for example, amendments to TCA titles named in HB2314) and procedural fixes (date corrections in HB2422).
What's next: Adopted conference committee reports constitute the Senate's final action; bills now proceed to the next steps in the legislative process (enactment or gubernatorial action).
