Judiciary Committee votes to re-refer Senate Bill 9 to Children & Youth Committee
Summary
On a 15–11 vote the committee agreed to re-refer Senate Bill 9 to the House Children & Youth Committee for jurisdictional consideration; members debated whether the motion was procedural avoidance or proper committee allocation.
Under "other business," the chair called a motion to re-refer Senate Bill 9. Members debated whether the Children & Youth Committee was the appropriate forum or whether the motion was a parliamentary tactic to avoid a substantive vote. Proponents of the re-referral said Children & Youth has the proper jurisdiction to evaluate impacts on children and youth sports; opponents characterized the move as delay.
After discussion the motion to re-refer passed 15–11. The chair announced an informational meeting on March 23 at 10:30 a.m. on the constable system and then adjourned the committee meeting.
