Summary
The committee recorded multiple procedural and substantive actions: a recess to consult law enforcement, interim study and ITL motions on earlier bills, passage of amendments and underlying motions on a CDL language measure, approval of an EV registration fee schedule, and reporting the 10-year plan as ought to pass as amended.
The Senate Transportation Committee recorded the following principal actions during its executive-session meeting:
• Motion to enter executive session: Moved and seconded; committee agreed by voice vote. (SEG 011–020)
• House Bill 113: Committee voted to interim study the bill to allow the sponsor time to provide additional information. (SEG 024–036)
• House Bill 12 26: A committee member moved ITL (inexpedient to legislate); the committee voted ITL after debate expressing concerns about excluding lawful noncitizens who assist law enforcement. (SEG 083–136)
• House Bill 12 52 (CDL language): Committee member offered an amendment deleting a rulemaking section that proponents said would grandfather roughly 120 licensees who passed in other languages; the amendment was adopted and the underlying bill was moved forward after voice votes. (SEG 154–336)
• House Bill 14 83 (amateur radio plate): Senator McConkie offered a germane amendment to allow displaying a single rear plate on some residential vehicles; members recessed to consult legal staff and law enforcement, who cited safety and tolling reasons for front-and-rear plates; the amendment lacked a second and was not adopted but the underlying plate bill was moved forward. (SEG 379–513)
• House Bill 15 94: The committee moved House Bill 15 94 (weight-based tiered registration fees for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles) out to pass to correct fee categorization. (SEG 614–639)
• House Bill 20 26 (10-year Transportation Improvement Plan): Committee adopted amendment 1474 (New Boston land transfer for a bridge), adopted a committee amendment restoring Turnpike/regional projects contingent on Senate Bill 627, and reported the bill as ought to pass as amended; the bill was removed from consent for floor debate. (SEG 641–909)
Vote tallies in the transcript are recorded as voice votes or by brief counts; most outcomes were decided by voice rather than roll-call tallies in the committee transcript.
Next procedural steps: bills reported as ought to pass will proceed toward floor consideration or further committee action as dictated by the legislative calendar.
