Senate receives large package of House-passed bills
Summary
On March 5, 2026, the Senate convened and received a lengthy list of bills transmitted from the House, including measures on local civil rights commissions, transportation and vehicle registration, child-abuse reporting, and rules for low‑speed electric bicycles. The package was read aloud for the record; next steps were not specified on the floor.
The Senate convened March 5, 2026, and a member reading for the record announced that the House had, on 03/05/2026, passed a large package of bills for Senate consideration. "Madam president, the house has, on 03/05/2026, passed the following bills," the speaker said, then read a sequence of bill numbers and short descriptions for the record.
Items read aloud included, as rendered in the transcript, "Senate file 579, a bill for inequity, local civil rights commissions, local civil rights agencies," "Senate file 2088" addressing transportation and registration matters including references to the Mississippi River Parkway Commission, and multiple House files on topics from healthcare standards and hospice care to controlled-substance schedule changes and pilot programs for natural-resource park fees. The reading covered a broad array of subject matter; the transcript contains the list as read but did not record any immediate committee referrals or floor debate about these items.
The member reading the list also told the chamber that a gubernatorial appointee would be present on the floor later in the morning (see separate item). The transcript does not specify the Senate's next procedural steps for the transmitted bills on the floor that day.
