The Veterans, Military Affairs, and Public Safety Committee voted to give HB 13, known in the meeting as the "Lake and Riley Act," a favorable report and moved the bill out of committee. The committee chair announced the vote tally as "seven one."
Senator Gavan, who identified the bill as the Lake and Riley Act, moved for a favorable report, saying, "I don't think [clears throat] there's much question about this, but so I'd move favorable report." A second was voiced during the session; the transcript does not specify who seconded the motion.
The clerk conducted a roll call after the motion. Roll-call responses recorded in the transcript include several senators answering "Aye"; the chair then announced that the bill had been given a favorable report by a 7-1 tally. The bill was identified in the meeting as HB 13 and its sponsor was named as Representative Yarborough. The transcript does not fully transcribe each individual member's recorded vote in a way that cleanly maps every name to the announced tally.
By giving HB 13 a favorable report, the committee approved forwarding the bill to the next stage in the legislative process. No debate on the merits of the bill is recorded in the provided transcript excerpt beyond the motion and the brief remark by Senator Gavan.
The committee proceeded after the announcement; no further formal action on HB 13 is recorded in the provided segments.
