Summary
The committee reported favorably on a bundle of bills: SB 829 (regional utilities), SB 922 (appointments, as amended), SB 235 (solicitation, as amended), SB 399 (transit trespass), SB 428 (fraudulent check expungement), SB 845 (child-fatality committee technical update), SB 996 (DSS fingerprint checks) and SB 823 (no-contact orders). Several measures were reported unanimously or with large margins.
The committee acted on several bills and reported most favorably. Roll-call results announced from the chair or clerk in the transcript include the following outcomes (as announced in committee):
- SB 829 (regional water and sewer systems): "By vote of 17 in favor, 0 opposed, and 8 not voting"; favorable report announced.
- SB 922 (appointments reform): Committee adopted amendments; the chair announced SB 922 "receives a favorable report as amended." (Transcript contains inconsistent not-voting phrasing; outcome recorded as favorable.)
- SB 235 (solicitation of prostitution, as amended by Johnson amendment): "By a vote of 19 in favor, 0 opposed, and 6 not voting"; favorable report announced.
- SB 399 (public transit trespass): "By vote of 19 in favor, 0 opposed, and 6 not voting"; favorable report announced.
- SB 428 (fraudulent check expungement): "By vote of 18 in favor, 0 opposed, and 7 not voting"; favorable report announced.
- SB 845 (Child Fatality Advisory Committee technical updates): "By a vote of 19 in favor, 0 opposed, and 6 not voting"; favorable report announced.

- SB 823 (no-contact/supervised contact orders): "By a vote of 18 in favor, 0 opposed, and 7 not voting"; favorable report announced.
Several roll-call lines in the transcript are clear; one (SB 922) contains inconsistent not-voting counts in the readback phrasing but the chair announced a favorable report. Where transcript wording appeared inconsistent, this compilation notes that the final announced outcome was a favorable report.
Adjournment: The committee adjourned and did not schedule a morning meeting; Mr. Jordan requested unanimous consent to record missed favorable votes as aye, which the committee granted.
This summary lists outcomes announced in committee; consult official published minutes for certified roll-call tallies.
