House committee reports HB 5845 with substitute recommendation after 5-2-1 tally
Summary
The House Committee on Election Integrity voted to report House Bill 5845 with recommendation as substitute H-1, with the clerk announcing a 5 yays, 2 nays and 1 pass tally. The committee also announced that testimony on HB 5968 was postponed and read a support card from Pure Integrity Michigan Elections.
Chair Smith opened the House Committee on Election Integrity and moved that the committee take up House Bill 5845 and take a vote. The motion to report HB 5845 with recommendation as substitute H-1 was moved by Representative Pavlov.
The clerk called the role for the vote. After members responded, the clerk announced, “Madam Chair, you have 5 yays, 2 nays, and 1 pass.” The motion prevailed, and the committee reported HB 5845 with the recommendation as substituted.
Chair Smith told the committee that, because of a scheduling conflict, the panel would not hear testimony on House Bill 5968 and that that bill would be rescheduled for a later time. A support card was read indicating that Sherry Richard with Pure Integrity Michigan Elections filed in support of the bill but did not wish to speak.
Earlier in the session Representative Hoadley moved to adopt the minutes from April 28; that motion prevailed by unanimous consent. Representative Wooden subsequently moved to excuse absent members; that motion also prevailed by unanimous consent. With no further business, Chair Smith adjourned the committee.
The record does not contain a roll-call list assigning individual votes to named members; the clerk provided only the final tally. No formal amendments were recorded during the session.
