Commerce and Labor Committee advances SB 350, announces bill-calendar deadline and adjourns
Summary
The Senate Commerce and Labor Committee announced the committee deadline for placing bills on the calendar, heard sponsor and expert testimony on SB 350, adopted an amendment, and voted to move the bill to the calendar before adjourning.
The Senate Commerce and Labor Committee opened, confirmed a quorum, and the chair announced the final deadline to place bills on the committee calendar: Tuesday, February 24 at 12:00 p.m.
After routine personal orders and introductions of interns, the committee considered Senate Bill 350 by Sen. Harshbarger. The committee adopted an amendment (drafting code 11,478), took expert testimony from Toby Meyer of T Rex Arms and legal clarification from Mr. Matt King, then voted 8–1 to move SB 350 to the committee calendar. The chair declared the committee's business complete and adjourned.
Key practical clarifications recorded in the hearing: the bill is prospective only; it contains carve-outs for certain state-leased and campus properties and mental-health-contracted facilities; and legal counsel affirmed that the vehicle provision is intended to cover vehicles belonging to tenants and a tenant's guests.
