Committee adopts committee substitutes and reports election bills out by voice vote
Summary
The Elections Committee adopted committee substitutes and approved title-sufficient, due-pass motions for multiple election bills (SB 25 89, SCR 5 18, SB 29 19 and SB 25 87) and rose to report; all actions were taken by voice vote and no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
During the session the committee recorded a series of motions to adopt committee substitutes and report bills out for further consideration. Actions taken on the record include:
- SB 25 89 (campaign finance online filing): motion recorded as "title sufficient, due pass"; committee substitute adopted and reported out by voice vote.
- SCR 5 18 (ballot-initiative constitutional amendment vehicle): committee substitute adopted; motion recorded as adopt committee sub and title sufficient; reported out by voice vote.
- SB 29 19 (statutory vehicle to bring code sections forward): committee substitute adopted as title sufficient, due pass; reported out by voice vote.
- SB 25 87 (in-person absentee/OMR machine changes): committee substitute adopted as title sufficient, due pass; reported out by voice vote.
Committee members made several procedural and substantive queries (effective dates, severability, affidavit mechanics) and the chair said he would provide follow-up on legal and administrative clarifications on the floor. All motions were resolved by voice vote; the transcript records "the ayes have it" but contains no roll-call vote tallies.
The committee then moved to "rise and report" and adjourned.
