Votes at a glance: committee moves multiple bills to the floor and places several on consent calendar
Summary
The committee moved a series of bills to JFS/JF for floor consideration, placed several items on the consent calendar, and recorded roll-call votes that were left open until a later time for confirmation.
The Government Administration and Elections Committee voted on and advanced a slate of bills during its session. Several measures (including HB 5,552; SB 4-59; SB 3-85; SB 4-62; SB 4-65; SB 4-67; HB 5-547; HB 5-528; SB 4-64; and SB 3-92) were placed on the consent calendar without objection. For contested items the clerk called roll-call votes and, in several cases, the committee left votes open until a time to be determined at the end of the meeting (the chair specified votes would be held open until 4 p.m.).
Notable roll-call motions called during the meeting included motions to JFS/JF for HB 5,551 (siting council reform), SB 4-61 (corporate political spending), SB 4-66 (FOIA vexatious requesters), SB 4-72 (employee surveillance), HB 5-548 (FOIA residential-address and higher-education records), HB 5-550 (syllabi exemption), HB 5-553 and HB 5-553 (absentee voting technical changes), and HB 5-549 (technical election revisions). The transcript records members’ immediate responses to the clerk’s roll calls; the clerk repeatedly noted that votes were being held open to accommodate members and that final tallies would be available after the recess.
