Committee rejects sending House Bill 864 to the floor, holds it to March 27
Summary
The Health and Welfare Committee voted down a substitute motion to send House Bill 864 to the floor and instead voted to hold the bill in committee to a time certain of March 27 to allow parallel consideration with a related Senate regulatory bill.
Representative Redmond moved to hold House Bill 864 to a time certain of March 27 so it could be heard alongside a related regulatory bill. "I move to hold house bill 8 64 time certain until March 27," he said.
Representative McCann offered a substitute motion to send the bill to the floor without recommendation, arguing sponsors should have flexibility if they cannot get floor votes: "I'd like to see it up on the calendar and know that we have an option to do something." The committee took a roll-call vote on the substitute; the tally was 6 ayes and 10 nays, and the substitute motion failed.
Following the failed substitute, the committee voted by voice to hold House Bill 864 to March 27. The chair announced, "House Bill 8 64 is held in committee until Friday, March 27." No further testimony was taken on the bill during this meeting.
