Rules Committee moves dozens of bills to the calendar, records several voice approvals
Summary
In a committee-day session the House Rules Committee approved or placed numerous bills on the calendar under modified structure; several rule and committee substitutes were approved by voice vote and a small number of objections were recorded on voice votes.
The House Rules Committee moved a large set of bills to the calendar during a committee-day meeting, taking voice votes on multiple rule and committee substitutes and recording a few objections.
Several specific actions recorded during the meeting included approving a rule substitute to House Bill 717 (ketamine clinics), a committee substitute to House Bill 812 (permitting language), approval of a substitute for House Bill 874, approval of the committee substitute to the cash-rounding bill (House Bill 1112112), and approval of a substitute to House Bill 1324 clarifying suppressor language. Members also moved to place numerous other bills on the calendar (bills listed aloud by number during the meeting). Most motions carried by voice vote; a few objections were spoken and recorded during the roll-call process conducted by voice.
The committee concluded by setting a rules meeting for 9:00 a.m. the next day and adjourning. The meeting record did not include roll-call vote tallies for the voice votes taken; where members objected, that was recorded in the transcript.
