Votes at a glance: key outcomes from the Senate Finance Committee meeting
Summary
The committee considered multiple bills and amendments and recorded a set of committee‑level outcomes, including advancing House Bill 155 (as amended), passing the HB707 site‑evaluation amendment, and approving a modified committee amendment for insurance/risk‑pool legislation; some individual amendment motions failed in committee.
Here are the principal committee actions recorded in the transcript during the session:
• Amendment 18‑98s (related to HB155 — additional appropriation): Motion failed (chair announced "the ayes don't have it").
• Amendment 18‑93s (HB155 — allow $2.25M + federal match to be non‑lapsing and carried forward): Approved; bill moved forward as amended.
• Committee amendment to HB707 (solid‑waste site evaluation committee, recorded as amendment 1908s/committee amendment as described by sponsor): Approved as amended; bill advanced from committee (not placed on consent).
• Committee‑modified amendment for the insurance/political‑subdivision risk‑pool framework (18‑97 as modified): Approved; bill advanced as amended.
• HB1064: Committee reported "ought to pass"; transcript records a committee tabulation referenced as 5‑3 on a related count in committee discussion.
• HB1555 (Philbrook/transitional housing): Committee moved the bill to pass after agency testimony about the facility’s role in behavioral‑health throughput.
Many other bills were considered on consent during the meeting and were announced as passed or moved to consent; the chair and clerks read committee amendments and called several voice votes where the chair announced the outcome ("the ayes have it"). Detailed roll‑call tallies were not provided in the transcript for most voice votes; minutes and the committee clerk’s official record should be consulted for formal vote counts.
Ending: The committee adjourned after taking the listed votes and moving several bills out of committee.
