Committee holds SB438 on self‑checkout stations; no action taken
Summary
The Judiciary Committee held Senate Bill 438, concerning self‑checkout stations in grocery stores, and did not place it on the consent calendar; the bill will return to committee for later consideration.
Senate Bill 438, a bill concerning regulation of self-checkout stations in grocery stores, was held by the Judiciary Committee and not placed on the consent calendar. Committee members and staff repeatedly confirmed during roll-call preparations that SB438 was the single held item; no floor referral or amendment was recorded for the bill during this session. The chair and staff indicated the bill would be considered in committee at a later date.
Why it matters: holding a bill keeps it in committee for further review or amendment rather than sending it quickly to the floor. SB438 concerns retail checkout operations and, depending on future committee action, could affect grocery retailers and consumers.
What’s next: committee staff to schedule further consideration of SB438 at a future meeting.
