Committee adopts technical and substantive amendments and reports youth-court bill to the floor
Summary
After debate and several amendments, the Judiciary Committee voted the bill out as "title sufficient" and reported it to the floor. The record shows several voice votes adopting Turner Ford's media/camera amendments and other technical fixes.
Following extended discussion and multiple member questions, the committee considered and adopted several technical amendments and the Turner Ford media/camera amendments. Senator Boyd proposed striking a provision limiting state funds for county youth-court purposes; the chair and other members debated the provision's intent and its relationship to the governor's call. Some technical amendments were adopted on voice votes.
Senator England moved that the bill be reported "title sufficient to pass as amended," and the committee approved that motion on a voice vote. Chair closed the meeting and said the committee would "rise and report" the measure to the floor for further consideration.
