Amendment to HB 1267 fails; bill is defeated in subcommittee
Summary
The subcommittee considered HB 1267 with an amendment (No. 5311); the amendment failed and the subsequent vote on the unamended bill resulted in a 1–6 defeat.
Representative Johnson’s HB 1267 was considered with an amendment identified as No. 5311. The committee moved to attach the amendment, but members voted and the amendment failed. Representatives noted there were witnesses present who had planned to testify; with the amendment defeated the committee proceeded to vote on the bill as presented and the clerk reported one aye and six no votes, defeating the measure.
One committee member asked whether witnesses who had been waiting could still be heard if the committee chose to reconsider; the chair noted the procedural constraints and confirmed the bill fell on the recorded vote.
