Loading...
Summary
The presiding officer declared approval of multiple Senate bills and a conference committee report on a House bill, while a House resolution was received and referred to relevant agencies; the body recessed at 1:52 p.m.
The presiding officer (Chair) put a series of measures before the body and declared them approved after motions from a Lawmaker and no recorded objections. Lawmaker: “Señora presidenta, para que se aprueben las enmiendas leídas en sala.” Chair: “No habiendo objeción, se aprueba.”
Why it matters: The session recorded procedural approvals for Senate bills and a joint resolution, registered a committee conference report for a House bill, and referred a House resolution report to agencies — steps that advance the measures through the legislative process.
Senate Bill 613: A Lawmaker moved for approval of Senate Bill 613 as amended; the Chair presented the bill to the body, called for the ayes and the measure was approved. The transcript records the procedural motion and the Chair's announcement that the bill was approved.
Senate Bill 661: Lawmaker introduced Senate Bill 661, noting it carried a report from the tourism committee and contained text amendments. The Chair asked if there were objections; none were recorded and the Chair declared the bill approved.
Joint Resolution (Senate 125) and text edits: The joint resolution from the Senate (No. 125), which included a report from the committee on older adults and social welfare, was presented with amendments. A Presenter read specific textual edits replacing instances of “implantar” with “implementar” across the resolution's text; those amendments were moved and the Chair declared the resolution approved.
House Resolution 227: Lawmaker introduced House Resolution 227 together with a final report from the administration on older adults and social welfare. The Chair announced that the report was received and that the resolution and its report were referred to the pertinent agencies for follow-up.
House Bill 972 — conference committee report: A Presenter reported that the designated conference committee for House Bill 972 had prepared an enrolled text with proposed amendments and recommended its approval. A Lawmaker moved to approve the committee report, and the Chair announced the committee report’s approval.
Procedure and next step: After these actions the Lawmaker moved for a brief recess; the Chair announced recess at 1:52 p.m. The transcript records only procedural motions, readings of amendment text, approvals and referrals; no roll-call tallies or named movers beyond the generic Lawmaker and Presenter appear in the record.
