Votes at a glance: House Ways and Means advances multiple Senate bills on consent calendars
Summary
The House Ways and Means Committee moved several groups of Senate bills forward on four consent calendars by voice vote, clearing a large set of measures for favorable reporting with no extended debate; members reserved the right to pull items for separate consideration.
The House Ways and Means Committee used four consent calendars to advance a large number of Senate bills by voice vote, with little or no discussion on most items.
The chair read four separate consent calendars containing multiple Senate bills. The first calendar included Senate Bill 30, Senate Bill 58, Senate Bill 98, Senate Bill 109, Senate Bill 176, Senate Bill 194 and Senate Bill 238; subsequent calendars listed additional Senate bills, including 263, 339, 357, 403, 440, 450, 466, 497, 501, 503, 519, 648, 731, 756, 819, 833, 847 and 851. The minority leader moved each calendar and the motions were seconded and passed by voice vote.
Members were invited to ask that any bill be pulled for separate consideration; one item was noted as pulled for later voting. The committee did not record extended debate on the consent-calendar items during this session.
The committee moved the consent-calendar bills forward favorably; specific bill dispositions will appear in the committee’s formal report and roll call minutes as posted by committee staff.
