The Senate State Affairs Committee moved several noncontroversial items on March 24.

Senator Toews moved to send H 212 to the floor with a do-pass recommendation; Senator Ruchti seconded and the motion carried by voice vote.
These items were advanced for further drafting or floor consideration; no roll-call vote tallies were recorded in committee minutes.
