Committee introduces two bills and approves Jan. 15 minutes

House Judiciary and Rules Committee · January 19, 2026

Summary

The House Judiciary and Rules Committee voted by voice to introduce two RS proposals — on drones near correctional facilities (RS 32,914) and electric-assisted bicycles (RS 32,977) — and approved committee minutes from Jan. 15.

During an introduction hearing, the Chair called for motions to introduce RS 32,914 (drones near correctional facilities) and RS 32,977 (clarifying traffic code for electric-assisted bicycles). Each motion was put to a voice vote and carried unanimously. The committee also approved the minutes from its January 15 meeting by voice vote.

The Chair led the proceedings and called for aye/nay responses during each voice vote. No roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript. Members asked follow-up questions about drafting details for both RS proposals; sponsors and staff will provide clarifications before any formal hearings are scheduled.
